No. Ego-stroking does not explain this:

Trump's Oval Office attack against Zelensky was Trump acting as #PutinsPuppet. Preparing to massively betray Ukraine, Trump for the first time was a bit critical of Putin. It was an act, as we will soon see, after they meet.
@RonSupportsYou What? It absolutely explains it!
Trump wasn't feeling like his ego was being stroked enough so he lashed out. He requires stroking. He wasn't getting it to the extent that he thought he wanted it.
That's really the simplest explanation as to what happened there, he was getting bored at not getting stroked so he lashed out like a child.
Ego stroking, and the lack thereof, is a very clear explanation of that whole mess.
