But that's exactly what every other Employee and country is doing.

And he's not capable of handling the fact that someone might be standing up to him.

And I don't even mean that in a "doesn't have a business plan to handle that situation" sense either. I think that he's personally not emotionally stable enough to fully grasp what's happening.

Insane behaviour has often been popular in society. Not sure what that says about our species.

If you want to go all philosophical about it, think about who decided what "insane" means. That was the same species. So we set arbitrary standards of sanity and then we repeatedly fail to meet them ... something something philosophy ...
