1. He treats everything like a reality TV show

2. Yes. This change in policy was caused by social pressure.

That’s about the only way to motivate a person with a Cluster B personality disorder. They care deeply about their public perception. But human life? That’s laughable. The only human life they care about is their own.

3. Damn, I actually thought for a moment he might be able to learn.

But no, that was just my silly optimism that he might actually have a buried human core but I should know better. He only does things for 2 reasons - personal profit and hate and both were in play here.

5. There is absolutely nothing good I can say about that pretend human being.

He is fucking killing us on purpose for political and personal profit. I have never hated someone so much in my entire life.
