In that picture, he has been temporarily overwhelmed by the love and protection he feels for his kid. He's pretty far from the guy he was and will be again.
Still, I see echoes of a guy who has been punched in the face, and expects it again. In that picture, Trump looks like a rich kid I knew in high school, who drank himself to death because he couldn't beat his industrialist father. Lots of pressure, lots of resentment. Lots of determination to not be fucked over by him again. How to do that? Either go big or go home (to an early grave).
Trump is still trying to go big, Not for you, not for me, but just to protect his own ass.
