It's something to do with *him". He rants and rails that no one will give him the Nobel Peace Prize for all of his marvellous deeds. Perhaps, he thinks that the World will see him as a peacemaker, now so that he can collect "his" award..
His starvation for recognition seems to be the basis for much of his behavior. So maladjusted.is the Donald. the thing is that it is never enough.....

..yes.he does .....as if he is ENTITLED........His attitude of entitlement is astronomical.that alone makes him unfit for the job. He cannot be OBJECTIVE........when everything is Donald centered.
Like 70 years?? It will not go well for the 5 Arab Nations who started the 'Arab Spring' and the two biggest prizes have totally escaped being taken over. Down to Plan XYZZ, lol

Iran Unveils Kit to Turn Artillery Rockets Into Guided Missiles – Report
The system was introduced alongside a number of other armaments and was officially delivered to the Iranian armed forces during the presentation.
Iran unveiled a number of new armaments last week, including a light armored personnel carrier, a network-connected robot and a conversion kit which can turn artillery rockets into precision-guided missiles, a Jane’s report says.
The conversion kit, called the ‘Labeik’, was presented in an event attended by General Mohammad Hossein Dadras, deputy commander of the regular military and Brigadier General Kioumars Heidar, the ground forces commander, the report says.
Here is a reasonably scholarly answer to your question.

Thanks CC. The article is a very good psychological profile of trump........from a military stand point. It is well done with real examples. It captures the important components...as related to the military, security and international relations.
from the article:
I. HE DISDAINS EXPERTISE
II. HE TRUSTS ONLY HIS OWN INSTINCTS
Trump believes that his gut feelings about things are excellent, if not genius. Those around him encourage that belief, or they are fired. Winning the White House against all odds may have made it unshakable.
III. HE RESISTS COHERENT STRATEGY
III. HE RESISTS COHERENT STRATEGY
IV. “HE IS REFLEXIVELY CONTRARY”
V. HE HAS A SIMPLISTIC AND ANTIQUATED NOTION OF SOLDIERING
Though he disdains expert advice, Trump reveres—perhaps fetishizes—the military
**********
His disdain for experts is probably based on the fact they are a threat to him. He seems to believe that he knows everything......(unstable non-genius) If he does not know it.....he makes it up. We have all seen and heard him do it.
His most recent self descriptor........: ( UNMATCHED WISDOM) about withdrawing troops.(Syria)
now in laypersons terms: the bloke is a lunatic. who has NO idea of the consequences of his behavior. and does not care........unless it affects HIM personally. He does make most things personal to himself........

One minute the US is war mongering the next they aren't doing enough.
Make up your f-cking minds already.

the situation is no binary. More important .....it is HOW this is being done that is in question.
Whatever the current administration does is incorrect, and if they change course midstream that is down right wrong .
