I feel like it is more basic than that.
I think his quote transitioning from asking for help to demanding others “step up” just reveals something he was taught early on—“never show weakness”.
Along with “never admit wrong doing” and “deny ‘til you die”, if you just set a simpleton up with a few basic, immoral, rules and hundreds of millions of dollars, you get Trump.
