The biggest psychological and
philosophical change that Donald Trump has to personally make is from
hyper-individualism to group-orientation. Sociobiology has been
helping to reveal the biological origin of much of social behavior,
and group-selection remains the main unit of successful survival and
reproduction, as it has always been, and individualism, though
creatively important, is successful only in the short term.
Trump's "group" is basically
"America First" and "economic nationalism," and
if Trump can actually transform his hyper-individualistic,
free-enterprising, deal-making personality into being more
group-orientated (not merely his nuclear family) then his constant
self-centered Tweets which are getting him in so much trouble will
recede. Can Trump make this change at his age? Perhaps the office
itself will naturally help him.
