Wow. You are the first person who has mentioned that he actually worked. It’s interesting how few people talk about him in that job or any other job.
I worked briefly for a gym that had a branch uptown. He was known to quite a few of the employees and patrons at that location, most of them homosexual. Seems he partied uptown.
He never worked, from what I’ve read. He spent his time with his feet on his desk working on his memoir as an unknown. Most people do that after a distinguished career - but then again, he knew what he had been selected to be.
Like someone mentioned, he had behind-the-scenes power, money, marketing, and manipulation. Also exploiting a troubled marriage to begin his career. What a guy!
