Trump occupies both depending on the observer too. Same as Buffett but not as evenly distributed (you hear “biggest weasel on Wall Street” from time to time)

Good point. What makes someone a heel to one person makes them a face to another.

Adding to this, I think the farther you go into realms of extreme tribalism, the more bad behavior gets cheered by your own tribe. You see a lot of political commentators who seem like really crass people but who make a killing playing to this.
