do you know him?

> also a monumental dickwad

I admit that I've never scrutinized his actions very closely, but I've never gotten that impression. Would you be willing to elaborate on why you feel that way?

The couple of things that spring to mind is accusing one of the cave rescuers recently of being a pedophile for no particular reason and without any proof, and a fairly well shared article by his first wife on his behavior.

From what I've seen/read of him as a person, he sounds like someone i would actively avoid in a social setting.

Honestly I think he has a mental deficiency, so I try to give him an enormous benefit of the doubt. He's clearly on the spectrum.
