Trope proposed with unanimous approval, and added to page.

Although I think it's a little rough and could stand some improvement:

  • Attention Whore: No doubt as a consequence of his narcissism, Trump craves and revels in constant attention, and will do or say anything to keep attention on him. His rage and threats of legal action when he was banned from his usual bully pulpits in the wake of the January 6 insurrection attempt are typical of him when he is denied the adulation he thinks he is due from the American people.

I agree 100%

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Sure, why not? He did exhibit that behaviour while he was in office.

(And why do we not have a page for "Bully Pulpit"?)

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

Yeah, not gonna argue this one. It really seems to have chapped him badly to not have a platform to get attention.

Derivative (talkcontribs)

One thing to note is is the threats of legal action have actually been carried through. Whether he even gets past summary judgment is another.

100% vouch on this one, considering all the bombastic statements he made e.g. the "fire and fury" comments vs North Korea. If that isn't any indication of his attention craving, I dunno what it is.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Okay, five yes, no objections. I'll add it to the page with a little tweaking.
