I know assholes like this exist everywhere, but it's the constant need to re-affirm that he's the "nice guy" while brazenly punching you in the face that unsettles me somehow. At least I know what I'm getting with certain politicians or tech moguls when they speak heh.

Some people thrive on the drama they create and feed on the outrage. I try to remember that when consuming content about certain personalities. The outrage they elicit is what they love. So I try to roll my eyes and not give it to them.
