Rather than using either to build infrastructure that would last, it was used to make grand, larger than life statements. The rallies, the trips to Rome, the high profile broadcasts, etc received a lot of attention in the moment but didn't really serve to advance a lasting coalition of people. He has spent his political capital in the same way, not unlike a gambler who is at a losing table but just can't let go of the memory of his wins and plays until there is nothing left.
