There was that moment it time when he was the underdog doing cool stuff. It seemed like he couldn't screw up, because his companies were hitting the ball out of the park one after the other.

Then the pedo guy debacle taught us who he really is.

    Yes, that cave incident proved who he was to those who did not know his racist apartheid background

    To be fair, not that he deserves it, I still don't know if we have enough information to say for certain that he agreed with the apartheid stuff. We know he benefited from it and hasn't said anything against it. We can also safely assume he'd agree with it now, but I can't say at the time that anyone should have assumed any more than him just benefiting from racism, which can be said of almost anyone who isn't a person of color in the west.

    We can also safely assume

    There's a saying in Russian "ради красного словца не пожалеет и отца" ("for a nice-looking word won't spare even father"). By that very law "safely assume" is usually used where no, it's not safe to assume something.
