Paranoia is existential fear, embodied in projection to try to give the fear a focus. Recall, almost all of Trump's relationships are with subservients. If there's any question of who's on top he tries to turn the tables as he did with the voters, telling them that they need him.
When in reality he needs them. Donald needs all the adulation because he doesn't get it from himself, I guess. He must not like himself. Anyway, the scary thing is that Trump sees the entire world in Trumpian, projective terms, a horrifying attribute for a world leader.
And his fragile psyche craves control. His propensity to attack anyone who challenges him, and some people gratuitously, is not a sign of strength, it should go without saying. It's a sign of feelings of weakness and inadequacy, probably from an unconscious father fixation.
We saw in Mexico what Trump is really made of. All that bravado and then he's meek as hell in Mexico. Where's the deposit on our wall? Is it on layaway yet? He didn't demand a down-payment so he is either a coward or a showboat, not a good thing in either case.
Donald saw Mexico as his own menacing, insecure, prurient self. Luckily for him they aren't that way or he might not have made it back. His cowardice there was instructive and characteristic of bullies and cranks. They only lash out when they think they're invulnerable.
