Same. I think it happens with any billionaire the longer the media focuses on them the more of their crazy comes out.
No you guys just got fooled by his very good PR team
I honestly think that is anybody. Anyone can appear crazy once you get to know them.
I'm pretty confident not everyone goes on crazy drug fueled racist, homophobic rants. No matter how well you get to know them.
You've obviously not met my grandma, the difference is she isn't in the public eye.
I think everyone just has a tiny bit of crazy in them, but they meet enough people to realise they need to temper their worst instincts.
The more rich/powerful you get, the more yes men you meet, and the more you think "hey i'm actually right all the time after all", and the more you start justifying your own craziness.
Crazy and racist are two different words. Wonder if they have two different meanings?
No clue what this reply is supposed to mean. Yes, crazy and racist are two different words. Yes, Elmo has gone on crazy and racist rants. Sometimes independently, sometimes together.
Well I was responding to crazy. Not racist. And saying most people are crazy is poignant. Saying most racist is not the same.
