Vox Populi:

The extent to which he denigrates women and the anger and even hatred he projects onto them reflects, in equal measure, his own self-hatred of his dependency, weakness, and passivity that he associates with the feminine in him.

Trump’s hatred of women and his rejection of the feminine are confirmed by his behavior on a daily basis.  Confronted with a black woman opponent, Kamala Harris, his self-loathing is expressed through his projection of his rejected feminine side and his shadow complex.  A psychological perspective on this phenomena is informed by Mary Trump’s book Too Much and Not Enough which details the early childhood wounding that led to Trump’s dysfunction behavior.  For a full analysis of Trump’s pathology read Dr. Brandy Lee’s, a forensic psychiatrist, book The Dangerous Case of Donald.  There is also a new film #Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump.

The psychologist Carl Jung proposed that males and females have contrasexual archetypal traits. The male has a feminine side known as the anima and the masculine side of the female is known as the animus. These archetypes are idealized images. In young people these archetypes remain undeveloped and are mainly expressed through projection onto others. For example, a young man who is attracted to a woman will project his ideal feminine, the anima, onto her. Initially she will try to match that projection through her behavior. This requires considerable energy. No matter what she does, she will never live up the man’s ideal image.  As the woman reveals more of her real self, the projection wanes and the real relationship can begin. The same phenomenon occurs for women through the projection of the animus onto male suitors.
