Christopher Wylie: ‘The fashion industry was crucial to the election of Donald Trump’
Christopher Wylie: 'The fashion industry was crucial to the election of Donald Trump' | Fashion | The Guardian
Speaking at the annual BoF Voices festival in Oxfordshire, Wylie revealed for the first time a matrix based on data collected by the firm which he claims can show how users’ preferences for particular brands on social media platforms – Facebook, in particular – were then used to help target these same users with pro-Trump messaging. He compared the misuse of fashion-based data as one of the campaign’s lesser reported “weapons of mass destruction”.

“They [Cambridge Analytica] looked at actual people. How they engaged with certain brands was put into a funnel and helped build the algorithms,” Wylie explained. “When you look at personality traits, music and fashion are the most informative [tools] for predicting someone’s personality.” A user’s predilection for a particular label gives, he said, a very clear indication of what reports often call “populist political signalling”.

Interesting ! I am wearing a pair Wrangler jeans this moment…

According to the data obtained (the majority of which came from US users), certain fans of American denim brands such as Wrangler, Hollister and Lee Jeans could be more closely linked to low levels of openness and mistrust – and therefore more likely to engage with pro-Trump messaging. This data also showed more esoteric fashion labels such as Kenzo or Alexander McQueen tended towards a more open and imaginative fanbase, which Wylie said leant more towards typical democratic voters.

The Moscow project has been Daddy’s dream, and thus Trump Organization’s dream, for a long time. How would they not know about what Cohen was up to, given Daddy’s need to brag (exaggerate) about his accomplishments?

And let’s not forget this ties in with laundering Russian money in this country.

If Cohen was talking to Trump about porn star payments over diet coke, you can bet he was talking to him about efforts toward a multi-million dollar real estate deal in Russia. It is getting hard for both sides to keep track of all the lies.

One thing we know - Trump will go down lying. With a mentor like Roy Cohn, he will continue to lie until all of the buildings are razed, his friends are all in jail and his family is destroyed, and then he will keep lying after that.

The biggest news yesterday might have been the German bank raid on Deutsche Bank, Donald’s favorite bank and money laundering partner of the VTB bank which was set to bankroll Trump Tower Moscow and is on the US sanctions list. All in all I don’t know how Trump stays out of jail.
