"the last time a politician held victory celebrations in his own honor,............"
the last time a politician held victory celebrations in his own honor, they were called the Nuremberg Rallies.
They began after the Nazis’ rise to power in 1933 and became a yearly event emblematic of the power of the regime’s propaganda machine.
Each year, the rallies grew larger and more impressive, and Hitler’s speeches became progressively more sinister.
So no, you don’t remember this happening. This is unusual.
Look, the point of this article is not to flippantly shout “Look, Trump is Hitler!” Rather, it is to point out that certain types of leaders behave in certain types of ways and we must always be vigilant and conscious of historical parallels as they present themselves. Past is prelude. History repeats itself.
Presidents-elect typically spend this time focused not on gloating and getting back out among the fawning crowds, but on the very serious and difficult task of preparing to do the job of President of the United States. Sometimes they even hold press conferences, something Trump has not done for 127 days (as of this writing).
