The thread is about whether Trump is the epitome of "alpha."
Is he?
Hot wife, lots of resources, finger on the button, army behind him - usually, most circumstances yes.
In Putin's presence, he's beta.
While pandering for votes, beta. (Though he takes a different tack than most prostititians.)
His other beta characteristic is flip flopping, e.g. one minute he says the Russians didn't meddle, then he does. Or, he's against gun control, then he's for it. I don't think it's because he's indecisive so much as he watches too much damned TV, and maybe the McDonald's is giving him brain tumors.
On the other hand, he really doesn't care what people think, people like the Bushes and the Romneys. I find it fascinating how he's trashed the establishment. Only thing is, now he is the establishment.
I've shared a room with him three times, I think. Twice he appeared alpha. Once - totally ridiculous, dancing to Ricky Martin like a teenager. But hey, we're all allowed to look like a fool sometimes.
