He wanted to apply a catch-phrase to his administration and his supporters. Something that bonds them together and gives them credibility and a mandate. (And, boy, he really, really wants that mandate. He really, really wants people to stop pointing out that his victory was handed to him by an external manipulator.)

"The Movement"

Heh. That sounds good. Let's tweet that.

Except... Mere seconds later the shitgibbon realized that establishing such a brand is hard work. You have to repeat it over and over again in your tweets, it has to be picked up, you need an actual answer when being asked what "The Movement" actually is...

And so, being faced with work, Trump aborted "The Movement" before it was born and moved on to the next shiny object that caught his eye.
