I'd probably start there, but would look more seriously at those to whom the "kid who would be king" bows down to. See his nose held high in the air when he is around those whom he disrespects (i.e. Supreme Court justices, the House, etc.).
Compare this to how he looks when he bows to the floor when he is with those he truly admires. His loyalties are definitely not with America, which is the parallel in my comparison to the Manchurian Candidate.
FANTASTIC point! Had never thought of it quite that way. You make an excellent observation. Bump to the top.
