If it is calling someone names for being old, frail, or in a mental decline, he must still brag that he is all of those things, but getting away with the same bad traits from which his insult has emerged.
And now with his trophy wife speech, pretending that someone else got himself a trophy wife, and that it didn’t go too well. That someone else ended up getting a divorce, and that didn’t work out too well. He cannot help but scream about his own condition; his narcissism is so disturbing, so demented, so on display.
