Trump needs to indulge less in such egotistical flights of fancy and focus more on the corrupted childhood issues from which they originate.
Many people who have unfortunate experiences in their formative years go on to resolve, in fits and starts, any residual adverse effects so that the saying, "life begins at forty" (or any age appropriate to the individual) has a real and permanent meaning.
Trump, on the other hand, is like all autocrats - whether heads of state, heads of organisations, or heads of families - in that he has hardened the surface fear of his psychological history and thereby created a "psychological weapon" with which to distress, damage, or destroy others. Or control them.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, however, and the weapon effectively replaces those core instinctive qualities without which a human being effectively becomes a HISO - someone who is "Human in Shape Only".
The image of "Pope Trump" illustrates this: even if intended as humour, a momentary escape from an inner conflict where a sense of greatness is constantly being thwarted by those who should have no cards to play, there's no natural awareness that the image may be an irreverence to Roman Catholics, particularly coming as it has so soon after the death of Pope Francis - whose funeral Trump attended! - but before the conclave has elected a new pope.
The portrayal of Trump as "holy" hides a darker reality. It does, however, reflect his need for the same kind of adulation at the international level as his fan base gives him in the USA.
Trump is "frozen in time" - an own goal - as far as the reclamation of natural qualities are concerned. Who would have thought that being a billionaire president, constantly concerned about money and power, could be so limiting!
