I understand he embellished a weather map and showed it to the press. But why? What did it do for him? What was his sorry ass trying to prove by doing such a thing? That's the part I missed.

Everyone made fun of him again. So he staged a photo op of a hurricane briefing. He used a Sharpie to add a false portion to the real weather service/hurricane center map (which wasn't even the real current map at the time of the photo op -- he had to use a 4-5 day old one and it STILL didn't show what he had wanted, so he drew it on -- in an obvious, oafish manner).

That sounds like something an insecure child would do!

Insecure child is a very apt description.
