Line 90:
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Trump rarely if ever backs down. No matter the potential foolishness or folly, he will almost inevitably double down when called on it, usually citing unspecified anonymous "people" who agree with him or certify him as being correct.
** A case in point would be his defense in 2019 of calling for the death penalty for the [https://time.com/5597843/central-park-five-trump-history/ so-called "Central Park Five"] in 1989, even after the five had been exonerated of the rape and beating of jogger Trisha Meili when murderer and serial rapist Matias Reyes ''confessed to the crime'' once DNA evidence identified him. With no evidence whatsoever, Trump painted the five as still being criminals guilty of unknown ''other'' crimes to justify his demand for their executions.
* [[Attention Whore]]: No doubt as a consequence of his [[Narcissist|narcissism]], Trump craves and revels in constant attention, and will do or say ''anything'' to draw and keep that attention on him. His rage and the subsequent lawsuits he filed when he was banned from his usual bully pulpits in the wake of the January 6, 2021 insurrection attempt are typical of him when he is denied the adulation he thinks he is due from the American people.
* [[Author Vocabulary Calendar]]: Trump's frequent use of "failing" as a pejorative for any news outlet which reported anything negative about him, as though impugning the profit margins of organizations such as ''The New York Times'' was relevant to their journalistic integrity. Along with his insistence that any television program which covered him negatively was always losing or low in ratings, this testifies to Trump's obsession with winning as the only meaningful metric in life.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Trump, as the words has several meanings, including "surpass (something) by saying or doing something better." His ancestral name was Drumpf, which was changed to Trump [[w:Donald_Trump_(Last_Week_Tonight)|sometime in the 17th century]].
