That's a huge chance you were willing to take by voting for someone no one knows anything about!
Someone you knew nothing about. How many books has the man written and how much coverage has their been about him. It all boils down to what we choose to read and what we don't. Obviously we read different scholary sources and thus have a different information base. Many of us knew a lot about him. If you had been in this forum for the last 8-10 months you would know that I have posted much about him and his advisors. This includes linking their backgrounds and the professional/scholary work they do. You might want to do some research on Behavior Finance/Economics and get a preview of where his economic agenda is going.
You might want to do some research on Richard Thaler and Behavior Finance/Economics

The field of behavioral finance uses a broad social science perspective to study the behavior of financial markets. Methods that originate in psychology are used as research tools, along with traditional finance research methods.
Research in behavioral finance is relatively new: it took place mostly since 1985. The workshop in behavioral finance has continued under the direction of Robert J. Shiller and Richard H. Thaler at the NBER since 1991. Over these years, we have seen the blossoming of behavioral finance into a significant body of knowledge
This information has been there and is available as are the many position papers his campaign has published.
The problem with forums and this one is a perfect example is that people want to argue and not learn. Most links of a scholary nature are ignored and people continue to argue what they didn't bother to read of academic merit.
First of all, it seems the one making the accusation should furnish the proof.
Secondly, it is not possible to prove a negative.
