What, in Trump's eyes, is the worst humiliation?

We all know Trump is about image - but what aspect of that image?

What's the thing(s) that would cause him to break? Showing the pee-ppe tape? Showing he's not that rich? Being deemed irrelevant? Orange jump suit?

My brother is like Trump and he values his image of success and intelligence the most and goes nuts if you question it. With Alan Greenspan it's considered irrelevant (a friend worked directly for him).

So what's Trump's achilles heel?

Comments about the size of his hands set him off, bragging about assaulting women is not the vernacular of a man that is good with women on his own steam either...

I would wager my life that Trump is a terrible lover and BELIEVES he is the reincarnation of Don Juan...like everything else in his fake world, his image of himself as a lady killer is part and parcel of how you get "respect".

He is a deeply disturbed mind and there is nothing redeeming about him...

Money is ultimately how he measures his own worth and that of others. He appointed rich people to his cabinet because rich people are (in his mind) smarter and better than other people. He wants people to think of him as very, very rich - hence the fact that his New York apartment is garish and gold-plated; he's showing off his wealth, not decorating his home. And he hates it that there are other people who are actually much richer than he is.
