Well, of course he’s depressed and paranoid. Nobody likes him (his own words).
He thrives off attention. He never cared if others got hurt, just as long as he got attention. He’s had a devil may care attitude all his life. He never cared about the consequences of his actions, or if they hurt others, just as long as he had a good time. Some of those consequences are now trying to bite him on the a$$. No matter how many lies he tells or threats he makes, they still keep coming. On top of that, he’s about to lose the things he’s craved all his life – power and attention. {Sure, he likes money as well. Money buys power and attention. However, all the money in the world is useless if it doesn’t bring him attention.} His once thought “eternal reign” is coming to an end. Everything is falling apart around him and he’s terrified. Friend and acquaintances keep being arrested. Denying he ever knew them isn’t working (I never knew the man). Even a few of his loyal fans are deserting him (who cares, I didn’t need hem anyhow). His trophy wife doesn’t want to be seen with him (I order you to be by my side). People of better character are rising up to oust him. Name calling isn’t making them go away; the laughter is gone. Depression and paranoia are all that remain.
