Only a man empty inside yearns to be surrounded with so much flashy clutter, in an inevitably futile effort to feel whole. As increasingly divided MAGA base rejects and abandons him, Trump becomes even more desperate to salvage outer recognition from imploding inner collapse (e.g. passports/coins).
