He got a tremendous amount of media attention and often and on draws a fair amount of attention, He, unlike Santos, still has a lot of power, and a lot of potential continued influence and power.

Both men — seemingly crave attention! Both men provide a lot of controversial quotes. Both men contradict themselves and at times reality in general.
