He is a master propagandist and has managed to turn every failure into a success. Of sorts

Even after his football league went down in flames, he had some other owners speaking kindly of him, and nobody getting as pissed as they should have. How he snookered them into thinking he was their friend is anyone's guess.

As his casino "empire" was collapsing, he was yakking about the genius he was to have gotten out of the business at the right time.

He was ignorant enough to think he invented "pump and dump" as he watched stock prices rise when he bought something, but the rest of the street saw what was going on and dumped him. He still yakked about being a genius stock picker, and some still believed him. Until the SEC took interest.

So, as bad as it would look for a normal human at this point, we're not talking about a normal human, and pulling out of these flames could be his "greatest" achievement.

President Barnum.
