Is Trump’s appointment of Generals alpha-male validation of his ego?
 [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] It has already been reported widely that Trump has appointed more generals to his Cabinet than any President since the end of WW2. Now, in a sense, nobody can be surprised about this. In just the same way in which they cannot be surprised about the fact that he has the largest numbers of billionaires and millionaires in any administration ever. It fits in perfectly both with Trump the man, and with Trump the candidate.Yet it still bears analysing why the generals are there and what purpose they serve. And indeed, there are several non-exclusive explanations available. The most generous is that Trump understands that he has relatively little legitimacy. He has won the Electoral College vote, but he is obviously still very insecure about the 3 million deficit he had to  Hillary Clinton... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world,usually described by the rest of us as a crook... in the popular vote.
