Salamone: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Bullies (Trump and Clinton)
Small sampling but interesting ideas I hadn't put together in this way. I haven't seen anything prior to this that related how there are similar traits between Trump and Secy. Clinton.
#4 interested me in particular:
4. Emotional Domination
Bullies use emotional domination to make their victims believe they are the only ones who care for them and that the victim’s survival or well-being is solely in the hands of the bully.
When I asked the baby boomer Trump and Hillary supporters why they are supporting their candidate, I again noticed the lack of public policy concern. I was told:
“It’s her turn.” (x2)
“We need someone tough.” (x2)
“She was right about Obama when she ran against him.”
“He’s been Obama’s biggest critic.”
“Somebody has to fight for America.”
“She knows how to play the game.”
“No more politicians.”
“I pick winners.”
