Escobar was a shrewd man of the people who built his empire from nothing. He was also an actual strongman billionaire.
He was the real deal in empire building alright. I've intentionally never seen any of the new shows like Narcos etc. it is better not to have that in my head so I don't start curiously asking about what it was like living with him. My missus (grew up here) was born in the 70s like myself, she never wants to think about him nor does anyone else except a few scumbags who are analogous to Trump's seriously hardcore base. They keep trying to revive his image to make a few bucks.
Trump tried to buy Escobar's old football club Rangers in Scotland I recall. I'm sure Trump worships him a bit. Probably did business with him.
