19. He just needed a lovefest from his supporters.

He is so pathetic that he needs that constant self-praise and applause from his supporters, who seem to have no ability to think for themselves. Trump wants to brand a border wall with his name. He can call it “The Great Wall of Trump” and have the followeing engraved on it (apologies to the real sentiment of the Emma Lazarus poem):

“Give me your rich, your white,
Your greedy autocrats yearning to breathe free,
The corrupt refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to perdition,
I lift my hand to close the golden door!”
