It's hard to image Thiel could possibly believe the latter but surely it's impossible that he believes the former.

Like the WSJ?
My central point is that he's been speaking about both economic and technological stagnation for many years and it is foolish to consider his actions now as completely distinct from this.
I've no idea whether he believes Trump will win or not. I expect that he didn't require it. His donation allowed him to speak at the RNC, and this has no doubt increased his political reach massively.
I was joking when I said liberal newspapers. They are not liberal at all.
>..There seems to be a very small amount of dirt that has been dug up..
I am unfamiliar with that definition of "small".
>...His donation allowed him to speak at the RNC...
Is the arrow of time also a liberal media conspiracy?
