While this isn't much of a political comment, I can't say I understand Donald Trump much as a person.
Ironically his entire base is appealed by his self made image of him being the arch type to a typical soulless politician. Yet I look at Trump and I don't feel I've ever seen him without his mask. I don't know what he really believes in deep under his public exterior. I feel like I'm seeing a public charade.
As an example: There's this image of Trump holding a Bible. When he was asked to name his favorite verse, he stuttered and did everything to avoid actually answering the question. It wasn't a difficult question. I'm not greatly religious yet I could quote a couple of favorites.
That's just one example. Again, I'm not saying much about his politics. There's just inconsistencies to him that make me feel like I'm seeing a character being played.
