Donald Trump, beta male

I don't think men want to be like Donald Trump. I think men want to be what Donald Trump brags about being.

But real alpha men don't have to brag. The braggers are the insecure, the fearful, the ones who know all too well that they don't measure up.

People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder are very insecure. They demand constant praise and adulation and brag incessantly because they require constant reassurance. Whether or not The Donald actually suffers from NPD, I'm not qualified to say. But others are.

In any case, all that braggadocio rings hollow. Alpha males don't have to brag. They don't need reassurance. And they certainly don't treat women the way The Donald does.

Il Duce strikes me as very much the beta male.
