이번 주에는
한국 정치인들이 트럼프의 정책을 분석하기 보다
트럼프의 심리를 분석하는 것이 더 중요하다는 내용을 가지고 영어훈련하겠습니다.
물론, 현재 한국 정치는 그야말로 어수선해서 글쓴이의 충고가 들릴 리 만무하지만,
그래도 글쓴이의 진심어린 충고가 느껴지는 내용입니다.

Trump’s psychological needs
By Robert J. Fouser
MIn his first month back in the White House, Donald Trump has been a tempest of change and, in the eyes of many, destruction. On domestic policy, he has focused on the culture wars and remaking the federal government in his image. On foreign policy, he has imposed tariffs while positioning himself as a peacemaker and an imperialist. The storm has been filled with contradictory messages that have left many countries, including South Korea, scrambling. What is going on?
To answer this question, it’s important to consider the psychological motivations behind Trump’s actions. Some leaders base their actions on a set of core beliefs. In US history, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. are prime examples, and in South Korean history, Kim Dae-jung fits in this group. Strong core beliefs help these leaders stay focused on long-term goals amid adversity and temporary setbacks. Other leaders base their actions on a bold response to a crisis. In US history, Franklin D. Roosevelt epitomizes this category, but others before and after him fit into the category.
And then there is the category of leaders who base their actions on various psychological needs. Donald Trump belongs in this category, which makes it difficult to predict what he will do. To be sure, all leaders have psychological needs, just like everybody else, but the difference with Trump is that he bases his actions on them far more than most leaders do.
