#SharkSchool Lesson #5: How To Cook A Rotten Fish

Trump? Really? To make a point about haters and trolls? And him being the "victim"? And an alpha male? Gotta revisit both your psychology 101 and check your facts on that one, papi.

The guy has haters and people troll him in the media all the time. I didn't say he was a saint or my role model. And yes, he is an alpha male. Maybe not physically but if you've seen him on TV or heard virtually any story about him he always tries to be the most dominant one there. The first few presidential debates were proof enough of that.

I wasn't crazy about bringing him up because I hate politics but it is a good example of how to deal with haters and trolls. The guy has big enemies who own media companies that devote at least 50% of their resources to anti-Trump articles. I wonder what they'll do when he's not president anymore.

His inability to accept conflicting points of view, and the need to be cheered on and put on a pedestal all the time to me indicates self-doubt and inner weakness that don't pair well with an alpha personality. But: I brushed up on my psychology 101 and realized that one has nothing to do with the other. So I concede you were totally on right on that one. ;-)

As for the media topic, while 50% of the media landscape are calling him out, the other 50% are cheering him on, often even setting his agenda for him. The media is as split and partisan as the political landscape is (with a few notable exceptions on both sides). That aside: he's responding to attacks much more so than I'd think a president would. Dealing with trolls and haters, when you're arguably the most powerful men of the world, should be either ignore or role model how to deal with personal attacks with class & wit. Not bite back like an angry dog whose tail got stepped on. Wouldn't that be a much stronger and self-assured response to haters?
