There is a distant expression on his face and a single tear being blown from his left eye. He wraps his arms around himself, trying to keep warm. The world is so cruel to him. Punishing him for the meagre crime of hoarding massive amounts of wealth and showing no empathy for the vulnerable. Also, he uses his platform to boost racism, misogyny, and white supremacy but seriously guys who would hold that against a fella? Next to him a caption reads βBeing a shit person is ruining my lifeβ
