Dude you are way off base. He is actually a decent human. Not saying he is perfect or anything but who is.

You ever hear the story of him buying a hotel because they were racist. He actually didn’t fire the employee as from what I remember he it was management pushing this policy. He gave them training said something like I believe in second chances
