Very simple reasons why people are drawn to Trump. Despite the media labeling him a populist, nationalist (as if nationalist is wrong), Trump is what most American Citizens want to be. Self-Actuated
... to realize one's full potential. Expressing one's creativity, quest for spiritual enlightenment, pursuit of knowledge, and the desire to give to society
But there's a precursor to this. As explained:
theory as the final level of psychological development that can be achieved when all basic and mental needs are essentially fulfilled and the "actualization" of the full personal potential takes place,
Mental needs is the actuall full concept here because they can encompass many other needs. Do I have food source?, Do I have shelter? Am I safe? Am I at peace with myself (religious themed), can I procreate? The 5 basic needs of our lives.
Trump is in the final phase of self actualization -- the desire to give to society. He has achieved all of his basic needs and now will become a giver. He is in balance. And we all want to be that way. To be honest, hard working, intellectual, successful and God fearing in the way we understand. We want to be self-actuated ourselves. We want to be Winners.
Trump is more in the agree with me or your a poopyhead to me
so to go Freud v. Maslow he is a-fixated.
But to be more serious with as much I and how great I am djt uses he is at best in the esteem level of the pyramid
Anyone can give from abundance- character is having enough faith in God to give all you have.
Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.” Mark 12:43-44 (NIV)
I am sorry but you completely lost me. When I vote for a candidate it is because they have the same values I do. I would never vote for a candidate in order to feel better about myself.
I just want to vote for the best conservative
Exactly.
O’oomm
How big is the pyramid you use to estimate? His is bigger than many of the Pharaohs, Like billions bigger. Just go look at that smelly pyramid building they have in Vegas..... ;-) Sorry, but I am Blas’e (Not that Beck douche, just worldly)
LOL!
Is he going to shave his head and start chanting on the sidewalks?
Sometimes it is difficult to believe some of the tripe that gets posted in vanity threads. This one takes the cake.
It's a nonsensical way to choose the nation's Chief Executive as outlined in Article II.
I want a country where the President gives his inaugural speech, and then goes away and does little outside of prescribed duties. The President is not supposed to be an elected King.
Self-actuation is not a point of singularity. It is a point that falls on a bell curve. The center of mass of that bell curve and the volume within a given distance are what wins elections.
There are those that give all because that fulfills their spiritual need. There are those that take all because that fulfills their spiritual needs. People s needs can be different. I am not advancing moral equivalency here. I'm just saying that differences exist to the extreme
Exactly what I was thinking.
God I loved Season 2. Peggy Blumquist would be a Trump supporter all the way.
Considering the fact that Trump says Norman Vincent Peale, who just happens to be very dead, is his pastor, I’m thinking you and Trump make a very good fit.
Do you have any virtual tea, to offer to a mahdi?
I'm not afraid to post original though here. People like you are factored in already.
Dangit!
You beat me to it!
Yours is better.
The point wasn't a way to choose, the point was how we choose.
