He feels even the smallest criticism against him as a deep wound, and can't move past it unless he resolves it in his view. That's why he claims to be strong, and admires people like Putin, but in fact he's more insecure than most people, he can't put something in perspective.
He himself said "When I'm wounded, I go after people hard and I try to unwound myself"
So he devalues whoever/whatever wronged him, and threatens to retaliate. He is almost incapable of not doing it.
