I've read that in spite of people close to him advising otherwise, the reason he spoke so freely and often with Bob Woodward was because he thinks he is this consummate orator who can convince anyone of anything.

It is also been said that deep down he is terrified of being humiliated, more than anything.

And if Biden plays this right, Trumpy is going to be humiliated, BIG time.

Kind of like people lay out their shirts on a bed and decide which one to wear. In the morning.
