Trump (DJT)\u00a0 in 2016.\u00a0 His projected views, values, and emotionally charged rhetoric mirrored enough of the electorate to give him the necessary votes.\u00a0 The fundamental difference between these two charismatic leaders was that DJT&#8217;s energy was driven by a deep-seated narcissistically driven fear manifesting as anger&#8230; which was immediately and palpably identifiable to a portion of the electorate.\u00a0 His constant use of vilifying and derogatory language endeared him to that segment of the population that had also developed deep-seated feelings of mistrust and anger toward &#8220;the government&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Leader\/Follower Dynamic<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The second is rooted in the <a href=\"https:\/\/sovereignhope.org\/index.php\/leaders-followers\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Leader\/Follower<\/span><\/a> dynamic&#8230;
