From Wikipedia "The great man theory is a 19th-century idea according to which history can be largely explained by the impact of great men, or heroes; highly influential individuals who, due to either their personal charisma, intelligence, wisdom, or political skill used their power in a way that had a decisive historical impact. The theory was popularized in the 1840s by Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle. But in 1860 Herbert Spencer formulated a counter-argument that has remained influential throughout the 20th century to the present: Spencer said that such great men are the products of their societies, and that their actions would be impossible without the social conditions built before their lifetimes"
It is evident that Donal Trump believes in and is operating under the Great Man Theory. He is like a king surrounding himself with worshipers and says(tweets) what ever he wants whenever he wants. In truth he totally lacks greatness and most often represents littleness.
