Going on record early with this fraud: I’ve sized this guy up fast as I know his type and thankfully, there are only a few I’ve encountered. He’s a no talent fraud who stumbled early into the “skillset” of charming children and, later, their parents. However, he’s discovered his true power in those children whom have quickly grown to become his adult constituents! Shrewd. His payoff is being the cool adult, in the form of teacher and coach and he sticks to what works - which is manipulation. His authenticity is paper thin and he’s motivated by being “liked”. This is also why he frequents China; there is another emotional payoff for him there, and he’s since enrolled in their doctrines. His intelligence is also paper thin, masked by only doing what he perceives is hot with the “popular crowd”. He’s attracted to whatever affirms his ego, but when the going gets tough, he gets going...away from it. His biggest fear is being shown as a failure or needing to dig down to do any real, hard work or any expense of authentic emotion. Guys like him are actually very angry not so deep down. To expose this “Good Time Charlie”, JD Vance must irritate him by going intellectually deep and also by calling him out on his cowardice and lack of true connection to both people and the issues. “Good Time Timmy” plays it safe and has skirted any confrontation of true intellectual firepower because no one has yet spotted his fraud and called him on his fraud. It’s time to expose his true narcissism and fear, all on the world stage.
Hope your’re right.
