4. It's all about his ego

How can his supporters not recognize he's always bragging? Do they like that about him, claiming he's God and King and the Chosen One?
He's going to the G7 where everyone else is going to be talking about real economic issues, discussing solutions, and he's going to get up and brag that he "saved" the US.

And everything gets trashed. He was just doing a Medal of Honor ceremony, which ought to be one of the most solemn and highminded of all presidential tasks. And instead of really honoring the military member who received this highest of military awards, he yuks it up, says he wanted to give himself one too.

How now will Woody Williams (the recipient) and his family remember this occasion? That Trump cheapened the award by acting like if HE wants one, he should get one-- heroism doesn't matter.
