What makes Trump Trump

A conversation between two characters in the 1993 movie "Tombstone" describes Trump perfectly.


Wyatt Earp: "What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?"
Doc Holliday: "A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it".
Wyatt Earp: "What does he need?"
Doc Holliday: "Revenge".
Wyatt Earp: "For what?"
Doc Holliday: "Being born".
