A tough dame who doesn't buy lies or a needy guy you will own if you just give him praise? Whom would you rather face? Why?

I totally disagree with you on all counts. He is an empty vessel Shar. Whatever comes out of his mouth was put there by others over the years. They have groomed him to be what you see/hear today. He is not creative nor intelligent nor innovative nor brilliant nor unique nor competent. He is a sponge who leaks out what he has been filled with BY OTHERS. He is an empty suit. An expensive suit of course. But empty nevertheless. He is owned by all the people who manipulate him. I would guess hundreds of them. He is owned by everyone who praises him and sucks up to him and kowtows to him and makes him believe they believe he is great. He ain't! Without all of them he is nothing. An inflated balloon that deflates and falls to the ground inert until someone else comes along to inflate it again with THEIR hot air. Thank you for your reply and the graphic. So we disagree. It has happened before and it will happen again. So what? The problem isn't that he listens to no one. The problem is that he listens to everyone all the time 24/7 which is why he gives mixed messages/backtracks/denies . :)
