I think his goal is to appear to whatever anyone wants him to be - as long as it will get him elected.

Actually I think he pretty much is what he appears to be - an unsure sweet little boy whose capable of developing into anything once fully matured and in full ascendancy.
What an interesting thought. Africans never ascend to power in their advancing years. All leaders in Africa become leaders in their youth. We don’t operate that way as a rule. We select leaders from our experienced ranks. It’s obvious why Africans take their leaders from youth. It’s a strongman or a deeply ingrained nepotistic world. The problem with this is you don’t know what you are getting. Robert Mugabe was a champion of the poseur socialists in England once upon a time. They marched for his acedendancy.
They all start out cuddly cute just like our boy.
