This isn’t madness it’s just attention seeking and stupidity. You know when you get a dumb idea and someone tells you no that’s a dumb idea or you just eventually realize it is? Imagine if you have a dumb idea and everyone around you just tells you it’s a great idea and also you have an inflated ego and nothing you do has any meaningful consequences at all. Also everyone around you stands to potentially profit from your dumbness so they really egg you on. You start to look the fool quite quickly.
Who would expect that… His madness is progressing visibly in front of everyone’s eyes
