Editor,
Having graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from a mid-western college in 1953 but with no professional standing, I feel comfortable sharing my views.
After months of absorbing numerous news broadcasts and articles from both Republican and Democratic sources concerning each man’s experience, motivation and personality, I submit the following list of four basic and important reasons I think Joe Biden won the election and Donald Trump lost.
1. Trump came in with no political experience. Biden is coming in with years of political experience.
2. Trump has displayed no interest in learning the art of political leadership skills or working across the aisle. Biden has excellent political leadership skills and has years of experience in working across the aisle as the former Vice President.
3. Biden, as president, will continue working with the Republicans in his attempt to develop agreed upon policies and programs. Trump is not motivated by political concerns at all. He is totally motivated by self-interest, self-concerns and self-pride.
4. Biden has demonstrated, for years, his political motivations by working for all Americans in the attempt to move our nation forward. Trump has demonstrated, for four years, that his motivations are focused on himself, and his primary concern has been for his personal reputation in all his decision-making as president.
His motivation comes from a serious psychological condition, and this condition requires him to focus totally on himself and his prideful winning-at-all-costs attitude. Trump will probably continue this destructive behavior pattern as the weeks, months and years go by unless he seeks professional help.
