Alpha Responses

President Trump has been referred to by many as the epitome of an Alpha male. The Rifleman agrees with this observation.

The State of the Union Address that Trump gave earlier this week has many prime examples of Trump's Alpha nature. If you will recall, this blog has dealt with Alpha responses on multiple occasions. Let's review the three main types of an Alpha responses -
1. Agree and amplify.
2. Dismiss and ignore.
3. Ridicule and reframe.


Agree and amplify
Trump told the story of Ji Seong-ho, a refugee from North Korea, who lost his left leg and left hand in the process of escaping.

Before the State of the Union Address, many #Libtards were saying that we should not go to war with North Korea. While war is never a desirable outcome, Trump's illustration points out the moral correctness, should that outcome become necessary.


Dismiss and ignore
Russia.


Ridicule and reframe
“Preston's reverence for those who have served our nation reminds us why we salute our flag, why we put our hands on our hearts for the pledge of allegiance, and why we proudly stand for the national anthem. Preston, a job well done,” Trump said.

Young Preston Sharp placed 40,000 American flags on veterans graves after noticing many were not adorned by flags on Veterans Day.

Trump ridiculed those in the NFL who take a knee during the national anthem, by pointing out how it should be done, using the example of a very patriotic young man.


Summary
Rarely does one get to witness all three responses in the same time frame. However, it is worthy of note that the ultimate alpha male was able to deliver all three in his State of the Union Address.
