Let me start by saying that this profile article is my professional opinion based off behavior.\u00a0 I have not met the President yet, and I do not have anything other than his public behavior to base this profile on.<\/span><\/p>\nMany have villainized President Donald Trump ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/policepsychologyblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/hat.png?resize=224%2C213\")
and it seems they have clearly a dictator mindset.\u00a0 Many people want to believe that he is like Hitler or Mussolini and wants the end of all but\u00a0 straight, <\/span>white <\/span>males in this world, and wants women to fit in rolls like in the centuries long past or perhaps in harems.\u00a0 T<\/span>his is not true r<\/span>egardless of what the spin on the evidence is. These people want to believe he is a megalomaniac ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/policepsychologyblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/not_my_president_yard_sign-1.png?resize=235%2C235\")
that sits poised over the nuclear codes and the buttons that will bring forth Armageddon.\u00a0 \u00a0On the opposite end of the spectrum are those that believe Trump is some anti-political superhero destroying the all-reaching giant aliens bent on extinguishing the earth\u2019s population by digesting their essence while flying into the major cities of the world at warps speeds, shooting anything that moves and setting all property on fire.\u00a0 Is he a political dragon slayer or a dictator?\u00a0 Maybe we need to get \u201cInside the Mind of Donald Trump.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nSo, let\u2019s get this<\/span> right.\u00a0 If you could get in Trump\u2019s head it would be like stepping into a Formula One race in your SUV, or trying to run a sprint with Usain Bolt and the Jamaican track team.\u00a0 The speed of everything moving by would be devastating.\u00a0 \u00a0I remember one time being on an Italian Freeway between Bologna and Venice and a Ferrari passed me so fast it hurt my ears. I actually had an impact shock from the air going past so fast.\u00a0 It was like a mini-sonic boom.\u00a0\u00a0 In my younger days, I was a fast thinker and a brilliant multi-tasker, but I can\u2019t hold a candle to someone who sleeps 4 hours a night and makes decisions like I eat peanuts from a bowl at the \u201cLove to be a Vegan\u201d party I should never have been invited to.\u00a0 Some might say Trump is a little manic.\u00a0 Some might call it a \u201cracing mind\u201d or even a \u201cflight of ideas.\u201d\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what you want to call it, but I can tell you that Trump will not be around while you are considering it.\u00a0 Friends and enemies alike should always consider the man is thinking very fast and at a high level.\u00a0 He will need a lot of pages and aids to follow him for even one hour.\u00a0 Maybe that is what he means by creating jobs.\u00a0 He alone may end the unemployment problem.
\n<\/span><\/p>\nMr. Trump does not lack confidence.\u00a0 He has mentioned a few times that he gets it like no one else gets it.\u00a0 He raised a few eyebrows when he said he didn\u2019t need intelligence briefings, then revised it to say he didn\u2019t need daily intelligence briefings.\u00a0 He further raised eyebrows to say that he understood how to fight the war on terror more than the generals.\u00a0 We find out he meant that the generals were not fighting appropriately because they were broadcasting everything they were doing and they were handcuffed by the politics in the US, but still it came off as slightly arrogant.\u00a0 Donald Trump will criticize and propel himself, then he works out little things like meaning later, meanwhile he has put out there and it sounds brash.\u00a0 He is not affected by that generally though, although sometimes his bluster may get him in a bit of trouble with people taking him literally.<\/span><\/p>\nDonald Trump will be seen as Machiavellian, meaning he is a man with no moral values who through duplicity and deception does all things for personal gain.\u00a0 He is a wheeler-dealer and that comes off as very manipulative. \u00a0Machiavellianism is part of what is called the dark triad in psychology, with narcissism and psychopathy being the other two.\u00a0 But he is protective of his family, talks about fostering a new America, and has other characteristics that seem against Machiavelli\u2019s philosophy.\u00a0 To me, Trump is clearly a Consequentialist, a philosophy of getting the desired result as best as one can, not Machiavellian. \u00a0He believes the product of an effort should be the judge of the effort.\u00a0 Human rights are only seen as a product of being responsible with those rights and acting in ways to better the state.\u00a0 He is a results oriented person, and prides himself on judging others by their outcome. \u00a0This may be at odds in this \u201cparticipation trophy\u201d world, but it is a strong attitude to accomplish many things.<\/span><\/p>\nMr. Trump is a Gamesman.\u00a0 Michael Macoby wrote a book in the 70\u2019s about The Gamesman<\/u><\/em><\/strong> who enjoys the games in life and is excellent at them.\u00a0 All Gamesmen do what is necessary to win.\u00a0 They like the spotlight.\u00a0 They like being in the game, in fact they get invigorated when the game is on.\u00a0 They win through many different techniques, but one that is most apparent is that he will propose something that perhaps is not totally thought out knowing that he is such a good game player that he will make it into something acceptable later.\u00a0 It may take a while, but he feels he will figure it out.\u00a0 Remember he has confidence.\u00a0 The Gamesman wins by being one step ahead of everyone else, and putting others on the defensive.\u00a0 How did he win the primary against so many opponents \u2013 he re-wrote the rules and was the only Gamesman of the bunch.<\/span><\/p>\nMr. Trump is a negotiator.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t like a deal, he needs them to survive.\u00a0 If he sees that if he has enough power over things he can always give you something you want for something he wants.\u00a0 He starts off high in negotiations, then goes down.\u00a0 Who hasn\u2019t heard of the typical divorce lawyer technique that you ask for the world, then slowly get it down to where you want it to be for your client?\u00a0 For example, I want extreme vetting he says, so he throws out a full travel ban as an opening offer.\u00a0 You can negotiate up to something, or negotiate down to something.\u00a0 Generally, going down from you initial offer is the most effective and remember the end is the judgement base for this technique in his mind.<\/span><\/p>\nFinally, Donald Trump is a Patriot.\u00a0 His Consequentialism is state-based at this point.\u00a0 In his motivations are that he wants what is right for his country.\u00a0 His analysis may be all off, but he wants what he sees as right.\u00a0 At the endpoint, of course.\u00a0 Remember, he had billions of dollars and won in the business game.\u00a0 He was looking for a new game, and turned to his country.\u00a0 The megalomania you may or may not see is part of his motivation, but he also believes he is the only one who can fix what is broken and he wants to do that.\u00a0 He is connected to his children and his grandchildren, and probably to the people who have supported him, and he wants to do what is right for them.\u00a0 And now I think he is truly connected to the people who voted him in office.\u00a0 He may believe these people in his life cannot determine things for themselves, but he will.\u00a0 His expressed believe in law enforcement is another area where his patriotism is coming through.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope that one is for real.<\/span><\/p>\nSpeed, Confidence, Consequentialist, Gamesman, Negotiator and Patriot, so, there you have my profile.\u00a0 Now, I have to tell you how to deal with it.\u00a0 You can sit back and be amused by what is going on.\u00a0 Surely many of you are.\u00a0 You can protest every word being said, fight in every battle and make him struggle with every bill, but I would suggest that you will spend a lot of effort and lose most of the time.\u00a0 He is a Gamesman, and most aren\u2019t.\u00a0 Gamesman win!\u00a0 But if you are so inclined, just make sure no one else gets hurt.\u00a0 The other avenue is innovation.\u00a0 Mr. Trump has told us and shown he will be doing thing differently, so this is the time to take advantage of that.\u00a0 Start new programs, build new infrastructure in your departments, create something outlandish that may get attention.\u00a0 If you are not an innovator, look for one around you. \u00a0Donald Trump wants nothing more than to be able to point to innovative programs that are outside the box that he supported.\u00a0 Whether you support the president or not (and I have never told you where I am coming from) \u2014 step out of the box\u2014this is the time for it.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many have villainized President Donald Trump So, let\u2019s get this<\/span> right.\u00a0 If you could get in Trump\u2019s head it would be like stepping into a Formula One race in your SUV, or trying to run a sprint with Usain Bolt and the Jamaican track team.\u00a0 The speed of everything moving by would be devastating.\u00a0 \u00a0I remember one time being on an Italian Freeway between Bologna and Venice and a Ferrari passed me so fast it hurt my ears.
