Well, yes. This is Ford's idea of being 'mayor of all the people'. Stick it to his opposers. Never an olive branch. That's the Ford version of leadership and diplomacy.
Sure, but my point was that Ford's ego makes him incapable of low-key behavior even when it's genuinely in his best interests. Whether it's being conciliatory with an aggrieved colleague (or even just displaying the basic common politeness you'd expect from another adult human being), or laying low when he's supposed to be out of the public eye, and the latter for purely self-serving reasons, at that. We all know the whole rehab stunt is nothing but a sham, but it would have been better served if His Oafship had simply kept himself to himself as the plan (such as it is) required. The entire scam hinges on his so-called recovery, but he just can't resist making multiple public appearances, which makes the exercise look ridiculous. The stupid bastard couldn't be more painfully transparent.
With a professional con artist, one who knows what he's doing, you'll never even realize you've been scammed. The Ford family seems to be filled to overflowing with grifters, but their arrogance and collective ego and sense of entitlement means that they have to draw attention to themselves. This hubris may well be their undoing.
Yeah and he gets to kill two birds with one stone: Fuck y'all look at me I'm having a great time + Look supporters how many happy smiley people want to take pictures with me.
Yup. And as for the dissenters: "Who are ya gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes?" Like some arrogant boy who can't keep the smirk off his face as he claims to teacher that the dog ate his homework.
We all keep waiting and waiting and waiting for justice, or dues to be paid, or karma to do what karma's supposed to do. I agree, and really hope it finally reveals as such, that this posturing and vindictiveness is a good sign rehab won't work and he's going to f'up in the near future
I think that's pretty much guaranteed.
