He has always stated that the media, everybody, has to be "fair" to him. That means doing it his way, he's the winner always. If he's not the winner, it obviously wasn't fair. He HAS to be the winner. Everything is to feed his giant ego. Just like he has never had a pet. Pets have their own needs and need love back. He has people like Lindsey Graham and others who give him slavish devotion but anything he gives is his choice, not their needs.
