I agree that he is an interesting case (to say the least). But much of his bravado is "self-proclaiming". As a politician, he tried a couple of times before he was able to parlay his claims into a large following. Then with this support, he parlayed himself into the top status position in US politics. His commitment to intellectual enlightenment and integrity being unmistakably dubious, what seems to bother him the most following the loss of the election in 2020 is the loss of status.
