I think Adams accepted this theory on Trump would cost him money.
Why do you think it costs him money? Adam is a blogger. He get's money from doing things that grab attention.

In the second half of the interview we discussed several topics of importance to the LW community including cryonics, unfriendly AI, and eliminating mosquitoes.
