Even before he achieved national prominence, Donald was in control of his "brand" and left it to himself to do his own publicity.  Surely he is not the first private citizen or political candidate who is a self promoter.  And usually behind that is a person who is deeply afraid of being overlooked or having their accomplishments overlooked.   Yes, he is a self promoter, but then so is Hilary, and dozens of other people in public life.  Unfortunately for Donald, he has always seemed to feel that even negative publicity was better than no publicity.  He wanted to be perceived as a big fish in a city where there are a lot of big fish.  You know the saying "go big or go home".
