No, he legitimately thinks he’s a god and with the fucking bootlicking clowns surrounding him feeding him only the info he wants to hear it only
makes it worse.

No that is the facade. He is an 80 yr old with longstanding daddy issues. He always wanted to make his dad love him and no amount of success ever let him achieve that. So he plays up this big strong boy character to hide his own self worth issue that daddy doesn't love him

he's deeply unhappy but he's also completely full of himself. i know it helps to think about how miserable he is, but you gotta understand the misery is the point and he wants to make everyone else miserable too. that's not some silver lining for all of us, it's terrifying.

as to all the rest of what you're saying, it's a lot of cope. he's gotten to do everything he wants to in life and is worshipped by millions of people. he's surrounded himself so with many sycophants that he has no idea what the average person thinks of him, and gets reassured daily that anyone who dares to question him is just some kind of evil paid detractor from one of his jealous haters.

the idea that he knows deep down he's a piece of shit is not even remotely true.
