    Nothing is wrong with him, at least when compared to how he typically acts. This is just who he is. A total narcissist who can’t imagine being at any event if it’s not all about him. This was just a photo op, just like any other, to him.

      This is it, right here. He can’t turn off for cameras, he needs the attention viscerally, and he’s well aware of the old axiom “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” Further, he revels in the fact that people are upset that he doesn’t respect anything or anyone at all except himself, because it’s a display of power that he has the power to not give a shit and shirk consequences. He eats up that we’re disgusted with his behavior, fucking loves it.

      What would actually fuck with his ego is being ignored.

    Wouldn’t be the first time. This was him on 9/11/2018 shortly before giving a memorial speech near where Flight 93 crashed:

    Didn’t Donald Trump say he was in with the Taliban last night? Why would it be Surprising he’s Smiling at a 9/11 Memorial?

    “What’s wrong with Trump?”

    Shouldn’t be the question.

    “What ISN’T wrong with Trump?”

    He posed for a picture smiling and giving the thumbs up while standing in front of tombs on dead soldiers not even a month ago.

    He is a spoiled rich kid with no will to understand the gravity of the situations that don’t affect him.

    “As names of victims were read aloud,” Bender wrote, “Trump, who had been mostly stone faced in the presence of Biden and Harris, flashed smiles at the crowd and alternated between a thumbs-up and a pointed index finger before he gathered his entourage and headed for the exit.”

    Jackass.

    He probably remembered his tasteless lie that he owned the tallest building in Manhattan after the Twin Towers collapsed. He said this to a TV station on 9/11/2001. No one asked him for this interview; he found it necessary to call there in order to flatter himself with falsehoods instead of mourning the victims. He hasn’t changed a bit since then.
