He is a creep and a pitiful man. Shame on him. His ex wife should have been treated better and his kids. 😡

[@madinkan]

Yeah... but unlike Trump, he takes responsibility for his mistakes.

[@JK-ck4er]

@@madinkan does he really though? I say that because he hasn't technically been exact with his wrongdoings, he made choices to step outside his marriage probably more than once and then he chooses to meet up with Epstein multiple times and he knew he wasn't that great a person.....i liked Bill Gates until he chose to lie/make light of his involvement with Epstein at first. Calls into question his integrity. I see him in a different light now because of those two major things.
