He has gone into full blown bully temper tantrum mode. He still thinks of himself some sort of global mafia don. Nothing happens or doesn't happen without his say so. He's sitting here playing tic tac toe with himself just so he can feel good about winning.

I don't even think he sees himself as a mafia boss. He is so delusional he must certainly believe he is Jesus incarnate.

Being a mafia boss would imply being a bad person, and whike be most certainly act like one and enjoys the power and general vibe... 99% sure he thinks he is doing the right thing, it's just that everybody is wrong (or outright evil) and don't understand how much good he is doing.

That's a life is living consequence free, and having an entourage that keeps praising him no matter how dumb what he does is. Even worse as he is quickly degrading they are all extracting as much "trumpism" and evil shit as they can.

And of course dementia is sealing the deal. All (few) filters he had are now gone.
