“He is a master manipulator and salesman who’s skilled in propaganda and lie detection with an extremely high emotional intelligence,” as per CBS. “A very wealthy man, he’s used to getting his way and not beyond enjoying the spoils of war: expensive suits, fast cars, private jets, a house in Monte Carlo.”
