23. More than anything, he's wanted to be viewed seriously by powerful men.

Feb 2020

He wanted to be one of them, but in reading the numerous biographical commentaries about him, he was always disappointed that no one in polite New York society and, more importantly, the *real* movers and shakers of New York and beyond, who sniggered about him behind his back (which did get back to him). He wanted to matter. He wanted then - as now - to be respected, feared and bowed to in the same manner he believe all those powerful "movers and shakers" were bowed to by their mere underlings.

The way to hurt and weaken him is to laugh at him and belittle him, and he is especially vulnerable about how he looks. He still believes he's the golden Adonis of his twenties and thirties. Keep mocking his clownish attire, his ridiculous and perverse *hair*, his mannerisms and gibberish. It hurts him and weakens him all the time he screeches and fumes on Twitter. He beclowns himself more and more with every insult and derisive comment that are heaped at him. Keep at it! It hurts him and weakens him further.
