He cannot help himself- loves being the center of attention at all times, and Trump hates it when he's ignored or not center stage. His morbid Trump Gaza video was part ethnic cleansing evil for instance, but part narcissism that Gazans would view him and Musk as saviors that rebuild their land into a bustling casino utopia-- because he's insane, of course.
Also, Trump is finally net negative: I'm confident if he's lost >8% in a month and a half, he can go below 42/52 in a year from now at this rate. He's bleeding support faster than in the first term, and I bet fatigue will set in in half a year at the latest with Trump's insanity.
I certainly think it's a legitimate question, but I also take your point - or perhaps I'm amplifying beyond your point - that no one really cares. Let's assume for a minute that he shows clear signs of incapacity. That makes him the perfect figurehead for whatever shit (excellent word) the Heritage Foundation and/or Musk & Co. want to whip up, and the Republicans understand that it's only his personal appeal that propelled them to the current heights of power that they occupy. No effort to remove him under the 25th Amendment, unless he actually and visibly drops dead at the lectern, will be successful. Especially since no one, including apparently Trump, is wild about Vance.
(*We* should not be wild about Vance; he's likely to be just as bad as Trump, as he tries to pick up the mantle. However, I can see a possible intra-MAGA schism between possible post-Trump heirs to American fascism, a la Goering/Bormann. That could be OK.)
I think with Trump declining and the impact of insane "policy" becoming more apparent, the hope for MAGA lies in ensuring, as quickly as possible, that elections are never held again. That's what worries me.
During the meeting with Zelensky, he mixed up the date of the Russian invasion. It began in 2014 - not in 2015 like Trump said. That's why he got flustered and started shouting at Zelensky.
He also kept referring to rare earth minerals as "raw" earth minerals
I get the sense that this column implicitly answers the question that it is asking!
Yes, and Trump's personality disorder is Narcissistic Personality Disorder/NPD 100% imo.
Everything is a match, even Paul Ryan admitted it:

He got mad when Zelensky corrected him
