At some level of wealth you reach a point where no one can get to you physically. You're completely physically safe and isolated and can't be hurt. That means that the only way someone can get to you is through communicating with you and making you hurt yourself.
That means that social media is your only weakness. This is how adversaries can affect your plans and goals and disrupt your mind. Yet so many of these people seem so oblivious to this and are as terminally online as your average 4channer or facebook mom.
Does this speak to some sort of weakness in these kinds of people or the addictiveness of social media?
They're online because their followers are online. Social media may be the actual lead pipes to our empire [1].
So yes, they are absolutely weaker than leaders with digital hygiene. But the reason they're there is because the American public is similarly weaker.

In America, the lead pipes of their empire are the literal lead pipes still in use all over the country.
But there probably is something to be said about people that pursue power or money endlessly. That their insatiable need for more money and power could be seen as proxies for a need for validation, so the need to seek out validation online (and to aggressively lash out at criticism) would be just another manifestation of that.
If you are born poor, then maybe you end up telling tall tales at the bar and falling for every get rich quick scheme out there because you cant imagine being wrong. If you are born on third base because of daddy’s emerald mine or real estate company, then you tell your tall tales to millions of people.
Just want to point out that physical security is never 100%. Someone with enough skill, determination, and resources can always get to you.
Someone with Trump's level of wealth could retire to an island and be like Elvis in his later years only dealing through people with intermediaries. They could have the best doctors, the best fitness regime and the best diet, and the best security and hundreds of miles between them and physical threats.
It would be a perfect psyop opportunity (I'm guessing) to trigger Trump's most enthusiastic fans.
