I think there was a brief period of time when most people who had heard of this guy but still didn’t know enough about him had a neutral-to-favorable opinion because it seemed like he was looking to use his immense wealth for innovative, forward-thinking projects which were vaguely in service to society.
Well, the mask came off, the true colors were proudly displayed. And, consequences followed.
If you don’t want the public forming an opinion of you, don’t accept a prominent, unelected role in the Federal Gov’t. If you don’t want to be thought of as an evil human being, do better. Especially when you have the means to do so.
If you insist on being in public service, whilst taking government money, and then wave a chainsaw around on national television as a metaphor for cutting our needed and necessary programs with absolute impunity, then the public can rightfully assume you understand there may be consequences ahead for you.

No, we can buy other brands. I'm looking at BYD.
