    Are they really such amazing actors

    Unfortunately I don’t think they need to be good actors in the first place.

    One of the lessons of the last decade of the shit show that we call human society has been that awful and/or stupid people rise to positions of power and influence every day by acting confident and promising things they can’t deliver.

    The modern confidence man isn’t the thief of the street but the legitimate executive.
