striver

Trump may be a striver, but his biggest success is to get others to do his dirty work for him.

Working people are "strivers who graft", according to the chancellor.

Add to the mix that Trump frequently holds court at Mar-a-Lago, where a rotating cast of gossipy, power-hungry strivers bears direct witness to his incoherence and unpredictable behavior.

A bitter, arrogant striver, Walter encouraged his son to act, only to savagely criticize him when he did so, which confused and angered his son.

Comedy is just how these strivers communicate — it’s how they break awkwardness, bond, fight, forgive and heal.
