He was different before his stroke. There are multiple studies that correlate frontal and midline lesions in the brain with right-wing authoritarianism.

Strokes can break your brain and fundamentally change your personality and values. Idk if that actually happened here or if he was always actually a piece of shit. It doesn't matter ultimately. He's a shithead now.
