you deem the surrogate credible? /rhetorical question

I believe I wrote “seemed” credible...with disinformation everywhere I don’t think we should ever assume credibility. Only future events will prove..
As a PR guy he wouldn't be doing his job properly if he didn't "seem" credible. It's his job to be just that.
Your simulacrum seems off base, based upon his occupation.
Or did you not know he was a PR guy when you made your comment?
