Of military parades for him. He didn’t get them last time.

And this reminds me of what Mary Trump said in her book. When her father (Donald's older brother) decided he wanted to be a pilot rather than working for his landlord father, that's when Donald got the job. His father made him vice president of his lucrative company and paid him well, but there were others there to do the actual work. So this is what he's used to when faced with a job...

Everyone talks about a Trump presidency as if there is actually going to be one. The project 2025 people are going to be in charge. That will actually be much worse than anything Trump could be. Their obsessive religious beliefs will be horrifying. Anyone who believes killing millions of people will be a good thing is a weirdo religious fanatic. Theocracies are bloodbaths.

and he will bathe in the glory. It's all he's ever wanted.

We really should ignore him, and focus on what Musk, Vance, Thiel, etc are doing behind the scenes. Everything will be gutted and pillaged. The only positive I can come up with is that Vance is not likable. It's Trump's cult, and Vance is hanging on for dear life, but I believe he can be beat. That is the only positive I can take from this. The problem is that the fascists in the Federalist Society are not stupid, they will realize this and figure out a way for him to win actual "elections" regardless. It will be the younger generations that have to figure out whether it's worth trying to fight for the country or just leave.
