The highest American military rank is a Five Star General. I wouldn't be surprised if as Commander in Chief he starts wearing a uniform with six stars.
With Trump his self-worth is all about his self-image as Mister Macho the Lord High Pussy Grabber Emperor of the Manosphre and star of the MAGA Mega hit Phantom of the Phallocentric Opera.
As if this wasn't enough, Trump ended up having to sit through the E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse and liable trial where he had to make sure he conveyed a combination of boredom, disgust, and anger all the while knowing full well he was guilty and would have negative press coverage including unflattering drawings of him published.
Addendum: I would add that Patel has said that he will use the FBI to go after the members of the media who enabled Biden to win illegally. He said this would be both criminally and civilly. As far as I can tell, the FBI doesn't investigate civil crimes unless they involve civil rights violations. Is he going to say Trump's civil rights were violated? That would be a precious piece of prevarication.
He now has his Himmler in Kash Patel who he's decided will be able to turn the FBI into his personal Gestapo.
Currently the agency's mission is to "protect the American people and uphold the Constitution and it's top priotiries are as follows:
- Protect the United States from terrorist attacks
- Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations, espionage, and cyber operations
- Combat significant cybercriminal activity
- Combat public corruption at all levels
- Protect civil rights
- Combat transnational criminal enterprises
- Combat major white-color-crime
- Combat significant violent crime
In case you haven't noticed there's nothing above about punishing a president's political enemies.
The appointment of Kash Patel is yet another decoration on the icing already on the Trump kakistocracy cake he has been belligerently baking to usher in his version of an American Nazi country.
Trump is on a malevolently manic quest to prove what has obssessed him since he came of age. He has based his self-image on being a tough guy who could dominate women and have them fawn over his masculine magnificence. This is where Stormy Daniels and E. Jean Carroll come in to understanding why he is intent on turning the government into a retribution army with himself as the Commander in Chief with the newly minted rank of Six Star General. He wants to be actively engaged in the war against his enemies so he might as well has an outfit to fit the part.
Some psychology
First it was Stormy Daniels mocking his manhood by likening it to a toad character in the game Super Mario Kart. 
As a Google News search (here) shows this was a widely reported story. If Trump, the business mogul, reads Business Insider he may have seen this article.

He managed one small victory out of this with his mug shot photo being on t-shrts and posters, but he still had to spend time he'd rather be using to hold rallies and playing golf sitting in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable courtroom in a city that had long since turned against him.
You can look up Trump emperor has no clothes on Google News (here) but you already know how this comparison of the delusional narcissistic emperor and Trump became a meme. It even let to an artist making these statues Below: From the Wikipedia page with this name:
Is it any wonder that Trump is out to prove that he has to rise above both Washington, the country, and the world as the biggest, meanest, most manly manly man ever to emerge from between his mother's loins causing the obstrectics nurses who are now Trump voters to swoon.
Personal: When I was a reserve police officer in Mason Michigan I was on the area muti-agency hostage team because I was also a psychotherapist and the director of the Mason Mental Health Center. We met once month with ranking police officers from the larger departments, the State Police psychologist, and FBI agents. Once we met at the Lansing Airport where FBI agents passed around types of equipment they would use in hostage situations on airplanes including firearms. On another occasion an FBI agent made an unannounced social visit to my house in an unmarked red mustang which had been confiscated in a drug raid. He showed me what he had in the trunk. Not only was there an assortment of firearms but all kinds of electronic gizmos for surveillance. I can't image any of the agents I met ever doing what Kash Patel and Trump want them to do.
