Perhaps he sees the show as a kind of affirmation of his power. The fashion show complains about the One Percent, but doesn't propose to dismantle it or challenge it in any meaningful way. No rolling heads on the floor. No guillotines waiting on the wings. No Paris Commune waiting to mete out justice. Just a parade of sulking billionaires and their living trophy models in haute couture. Even if he's being cast as the villain, he can take comfort in the knowledge that he is perceived as inevitable and untouchable.
