The Don has done nothing but push people around and try to intimidate them his entire public life. He never intentionally has done anything to benefit anyone in the world other than himself. And he is proud of it.
Everybody around him in every photo I've ever seen, including with his family, never cracks a smile. I never have seen that poor 10-year-old son of his look like anything but the most miserably unhappy kid in the whole world. He probably would be better off as a human being if his mother would spirit him away to Slovenia in the middle of some dark night, and the sooner the better.
It does not surprise me even a little bit that the Don is your hero.
