he thinks of it in those terms, unfortunately.

I think he sees the world as whoever comes charging out as though they have the biggest balls, wins. He has described President Obama as weak, and while he can paper over that when he sees Mr. Obama, like at the inauguration and such, he still fundamentally feels that he is the more alpha male.

You can still be an alpha male and be insecure. In fact, I'd say that they often go hand-in-hand.
