You might be right.
I tend to think that most of his tight-lipped anger glare is scripted posing, composed when he knows the 'anger moment' is coming.
The first question would be an affront, but he'd get through that with much 'uh', and 'ah' going on, and a convoluted appeal for submitting to his superior wisdom.
The 2nd question would be a follow-up which completely revealed the total BS of his first answer.
He'd have no response.
He'd have no way to hide that his 'emperor has no clothes' moment had happened.
He's never risked being pinned as a poseur on a broadcast media before, and he never will.
But still, it's a little amusing to think of it.
