but he doesn't get his desperately-craved ego-fluffing elsewhere (which might be a major reason that he doesn't like to travel). He isn't getting his narcissistic supply, so he's frustrated and angry and he turns up his assholery to 11.

I also noticed how everyone else has their coat buttoned except for Trump. That's probably because his doesn't fit. (This is the pre-Ozempic Trump of 2017).
