Anything that hurts his ego is a beneficial thing.

I sometimes indulge in imagining that the collective press suddenly wakes up and realizes that all they're doing is reinforcing bad behavior when they cover him non-stop. He WANTS that attention. He WANTS to be the center of the universe. He WANTS everybody talking about him and puzzling over him and obsessing on him. So how 'bout we take the pacifier away? Put him on ignore for a day (or more)! And I realize that'll never happen. But it's a fun thought-exercise.
