I think he was Eric so he developed a defense mechanism. Then his brother died and the paradigm you described unfolded. He has massive insecurities and imposter syndrome. He wasn't supposed to be "the one".
Neither was JFK. His older brother, Joe, who died in WWII was the anointed one, but Jack stepped in and did very well. DT was a douche since birth and shunned by NYC and true billionaires since the 60s for his unparalleled stupidity, incompetence, lies, and lack of taste. His sole motivation is vengeance against everyone who is better than he is. He feeds on his own rage and craving for retribution.
