He's one of my most despised lawyers.

His successes are more due to his guile than the strength of his arguments, which very quickly turn to "ad hominem" attack as soon as he is cornered.

Why don't you go down to Puerto Rico and volunteer in the disaster relief efforts? You know, swing a hammer, deliver some food and water, generally make yourself useful? See what some real problems look like.
