he is obviously bluffing his way through a situation in which he knows he is not qualified
he's got more cajones than brains, this has been his modus operandi probably his entire conscious life
he knows he can mesmerize a crowd ... all those guilty whites...all those resentful blacks and browns...he plays them ...substitutes what he doesn't know or feel, with disarming humor, homie talk, jive, “attempted” self deprecation (this falls flat because he is such a narcissist he cannot REALLY put himself down...
This wizard of oz routine put him into the Wh and has worked for him.... up until now
People know he is a fraud
He knows he is a fraud
and now, he knows THEY know he is a fraud
As Abe Lincoln said: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
