In an article in the Washington Post this morning, we who study hierarchies see another piece of evidence of how Donald Trump places himself on top of our nation's hierarchies.
When we live in hierarchies, we are all programmed to praise the top for whatever goes right, and blame people we push lower for whatever goes wrong.
According to Calvin Woodward and Jim Drinkard, "One of the most consistent features of President Donald Trump’s public
statements is his drive to take credit and assign blame. It’s a tendency
that consistently lands him in trouble with history, either recent or
long ago, and has been on display as he approaches his 100th day in
office."
There we have it.
