But he's already received much of what he wanted in public perception. He's all about smoke and mirrors. He has been awarded a trillion dollar pay package. No one will ever forget that and he can always tout that, regardless of whether he collects. It's like Trumps fake Time magazine covers and fake FIFA Peace Prizes.
