Trump will choose image over power. He has no idea on how to hold or exert power, only how to be corrupted by it.

IMHO, for Donald Trump, image IS power: he was able to leverage the “image” fostered by reality TV right into the US Presidency. In actuality, a second-tier real-estate mogul hamstrung by debt, taxes and legal issues, he was able to create/maintain the image of the jillionaire tycoon, whose vast wealth [illusory, but think of the audience he appeals to] enabled him to be, or at least seem to be, that “anti-politician” the prejudiced goobers had been clamoring for.
All smoke-and-mirrors vaporware, of course, but here we are in 2021…
