Sektledaren Donald Trump

Jag ska tillåta mig att kopiera ett inlägg jag skrev på flashback igår:

Finns hur mycket som helst bevis för att Trump som affärsman är grovt överskattad. Han är bäst på att gå i konkurs, låta andra betala, och att tjäna pengar på att hyra ut sitt namn.


Citat:
A year after the helicopter crash, the Trump Taj Mahal was nearly $3 billion in debt and went bankrupt in 1991. In 1992, both the Trump Plaza and the Trump Castle declared bankruptcy as well. 
"I didn't like working somebody who would blame dead men for his problems...I didn't like anything about his character as it developed over time there. I didn't like anything morally about him. I got to know he was just a façade. This wasn't a brilliant businessman."

Det är svårt att hitta någon av hans medarbetare som har något positivt att säga om honom.


Citat:
What is Donald Trump like in person? 
In Trumpspeak, Trump is not very good at running things. In fact, he's horrible. The worst. He's reckless. He's panicky. And the White House doesn't have a bankruptcy court or a divorce court where he can erase past mismanagement and reboot from an uncluttered drive. 
So, what's the Trump formula? Branding and Leverage. Donald hasn't built anything in years. His money comes from licensing. And borrowing tons based on the brand and the charm. Then negotiating a nickel on the dollar payback, if he pays it back at all. His track record of contract keeping and ROI is abysmal. Ask a vendor or an investor. Or his cash managers (a high turnover position in my day). 
Trump great at finding suckers to invest in him, who he will later stiff. He's fantastic at getting the rank & file to buy in. Pats backs and tells everyone, including the floor buffer, what a great job they are doing - at least to their face.

Citat:
I worked with the Trump organization and "The Donald" in the mid-to-late 80s in Atlantic City and I was close to several executives who worked directly with "the Donald". I also had the opportunity to work with his ex, Ivana (on the entertainment business side) as she adroitly managed the Trump Castle for several years. I can't recall a single executive, or human being, that said they liked him, or respected him, or felt he gave a hoot about anybody other than himself. The comment I heard again and again was "Kamakazi management." He is a world-class narcissist who has somehow over the years figured out how to make money using other peoples money, without truly caring about people. I don't expect perfection in a leader but I do expect real leadership. Sorry folks, in my humble opinion it's just not in his skill set-- not even close.

Trump är kanske lite av en sektledare.
Han är bra på att suga in folk att tro på honom. Ofta drar han ner brallorna på "suckers", tar deras pengar, sparkar ut dem och skrattar åt dem. (bildligt talat)

Det är faktiskt rätt så symptomatiskt för den s.k. narcissistiska personligheten, som kräver att bli dyrkad samtidigt som han är nedlåtande mot sina beundrare.


Citat:
The paradoxical needs of the narcissist involve on the one hand, the desire to be loved, admired, or at least to have the support of others. Opposing this set of needs are the equally strong set of desires to see the world from their own point of view. Whether they’re incapable of empathy, or would simply prefer not to concern themselves with other people’s feelings, the result is still the same. The narcissists push away at the same time as they seek the recognition and support of those in their social network. 
In addition to lack of empathy, people high in narcissism also have a tendency to be antagonistic. Studies of the personality traits associated with narcissism show that the most narcissistic among us are suspicious, manipulative, and aggressive in addition to lacking humility. These qualities only compound their inability to understand the emotional states of the people closest to them.

Som synes är paranoia ett utmärkade drag hos narcissisten. Detta visar sig i att Trump ständigt anklagar media för hans egna misslyckande.

Narcissisten får ofta med sig andra i sina grandiosa föreställningar och sin paranoia. Riktigt sluga narcissistiska sektledare kan t.o.m. få sina följare att mörda.

Det finns säkert mer att säga i frågan. Jag funderade på att jämföra Trump med L Ron Hubbard, scientologigrundaren jag har läst mycket om, men det kändes OT (Off Topic) i tråden om Trump.

Jag har själv inledningsvis tyckt att Trump var en "frisk fläkt" men som synes har jag vaknat till och ändrat åsikt. Det är aldrig för sent att ändra åsikt. När man inser att man har fel i fråga är det bästa att ändra åsikt.

Jag tycker det är bättre att man står upp för en åsikt även om man har fel än att man ägnar sitt liv åt fegt neutralspel.
