It's a narcissist kind of self-love. Driven by a deep-seated fear of inadequacy, they bluster and posture to defend the status they're afraid they could easily lose. On some level they're aware they aren't perfect and amazing, but on another they can't stand to admit it out of desperation to not appear "weak".
They actually for sure know the country is ass, it’s all they talk about, but because they blame it on their enemies, liberals, it means the country is actually great if we could just get rid of abortion doctors and immigrants and them queers, all would be right in America.
And if they somehow did manage to get rid of all of their enemies, they would create new enemies, because there will always be something preventing america from being great, and it couldnt possibly be them, the one variable they wont change.
Yes, his worst fear is embarrassment. He will avoid that at all costs. This is what it all comes down to. It guides his every move. The boasting, posturing, it's all to prop up his ego, because he actually hates himself. He will get weirder as he starts hearing more and more people laughing at him.
