most people say his public persona is completely different than his in person negotiating persona and thats probaly also different than his interpersonal persona, still better than the shoebox dolt we had the 4 years prior. the mentally ill TDSers will always find fault with him, doesnt really matter, theyve spent the last 9 years with such heightened cortisol levels, theyll be biden level vegetables in the next few years if the strokes dont get them. dont care, they did it to themselves, they deserve their fate, no different than a junkie.
