He keeps giving the powers that be all the rope they need to hang him. He can't shut up to save his life. His ego demands that he always be center stage in the spotlight to perform for those who will love him even when he goes out in the street and shoots someone. He is that confident of his base . That is very insulting to them but I guess he really can get away with anything so they deserve his disdain because they still remain steadfast and true.
