Everything is about him in his mind as he's likely a clinical narcissist and watching cable news here, it certainly does seem that way. So any chatter about him, he is going to feel obliged to give some redundant overture or rambling commentary. He can't help it. He likes the attention too much.

The other side of that, imo, some of the media also has the same tendencies towards narcissism and they won't let up on any criticism, as if they're the bastions of truth and justice. Even when it's rightfully given. Mainly cable/network news has this issue. (And I do feel like that's the "lens" he sees most media through.)
