That's definitely a pattern, the other pattern is, hey, I'll do anything, whether it's legal or not, and let's see if they can stop me.

It just creates endless chaos, which is bad for business, as well as everyday life.

I just watched him at the U.N. assembly. All he did was pat himself on the back for imaginary successes all over the world. A mob boss with a protection racket that protects nothing.
