He probably always was a bit of a right-wing loon, but everything about him over the last few years screams "cry for help".

If he were a normal pleb, he'd have probably lost his job, or had a friend tell him that he needs to seek professional help. Because he's a billionaire, I assume people just say he's "eccentric" and laugh while people push him to do more crazy shit.

He doesn't realise it, but people are laughing at him, not with him. He's a performing monkey for the apathetic, and aspirational for the morally questionable.

It was always there. He just has the wealth not to care what anyone thinks now.

He has the wealth, but not the ego.
