He is a good con man but i think it's worth noting that it's because he just has no conscience or fundamental ideology whatsoever, he can just unflinchingly say anything and believe it as long as he needs to.

He's not, like, clever. He's just a perfect actor.

i don't think you understood what i said, he's the perfect actor in that he will say anything and believe anything he says. I don't think there's any script you could give to trump that he'd refuse to act out if you paid him for it.
