Opinion: Why does Trump fall in love with bad men?
By Dana Milbank Dana Milbank Op-ed columnist covering national politics Email Bio Follow Columnist February 26 at 7:06 PM Why does President Trump fall in love with bad men? One man — let’s call him “Jong Un” to protect his privacy — imprisons, tortures and kills people without trial. He starves millions and apparently ordered his own half brother killed. He practices infanticide and executes people who sleep during patriotic displays. But Trump finds Jong Un irresistible.
Gregory Carter, a psychologist at Britain’s York St. John University who studies the Dark Triad, explained to me why a leader might be attracted to a strongman of dubious morals. “They will use soft tactics — compliments, charm, praise — and hard tactics — bullying, threatening — interchangeably based on whatever will get the best result for themselves,” Carter explained. That’s beguiling stuff. Sparks really fly when two Dark Triad leaders get together.
