Added DiffLines:

* SecretTestOfCharacter: Trump's War Council give Trump the Nuclear-Football and feed him a story about North Korea's nuclear capabilities. When Trump tries to activate it, they admit that it's a fake and they just wanted him to feel like a "real man" for once.

Added DiffLines:

The Washington Nationals game is coming up and Trump has to give the first pitch, but he's too lazy and insecure about his masculinity to practice. Instead, he tries making himself look like a man's man by other means.

!! This episode provides examples of:
* AttentionWhore: When Trump gives H. R. [=McMaster=] the Medal of Honor for his work in Iraq, Trump is quick to make-up a lie about serving in Iraq before giving him his "dumb medal", trying not to cry in front of everyone.
* CompensatingForSomething: Ted Cruz's advice is that holding a firearm makes for a good subsidy for a lack of confidence in one's own masculinity.
--> '''Ted Cruz:''' Feelin' Good!
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: John Bolton is introduced giving a public service announcement in the Oval Office [[TheStarscream as though he were president]], explaining his intentions on [[{{Warhawk}} declaring war]] on the entire world [[MyopicConqueror for no reason]]. When Trump walks in, he's quick to hit the BigRedButton on the desk, thinking it's the Nuclear-Football.
* PhonyVeteran: Trump makes up stories about being a soldier in Iraq, making hyperbolic statements about humiliating Saddam Hussein and donating his Medals to science.
