He doesn’t know he’s dealing with an egotistical bluffer, whose whole persona is a confabulation of Other People stolen “cool”? He’s an Abby Normal construct of a politician...Stealing from JFK, MLK, Wright, Lincoln, etc...He’s a Mojo vampire.
“Above my pay grade!”...When was he *ever* employed or worked in any job that he dealt with ‘pay grade level responsibilities”?? What a load! He stole the line because he thought it would make him sound cool, and like he had military/executive level...”chops”.
If you took away everything from his personality and his speeches, his polies, and his “cool” that he stole from *OTHER PEOPLE*...There’d be nuthin much left.
Actually I think there would be a huge personality deficit if you took all the other folk's stuff away.
