“At an event hosted by UChicago Institute of Politics, former Attorney General Bill Barr said a lot of what former President Trump does is “performance rather than substance.”

From C-SPAN

I agree with most if not everything that Attorney General William Barr said here. If there’s anything that Donald Trump has ever been good at in his life, it’s entertaining people, along with being the New York, or certainly Manhattan conman of all-time.

Donald Trump is a very funny man and a lot of that is intentional. Don’t believe the noise that Donald Trump doesn’t have a sense of humor. That’s obviously not true. If he didn’t go into the real estate business, I think he would’ve been great as either a physical or standup comedian, especially on shows like Saturday Night Live.

And because of Mr. Trump’s ability to entertain people, (and without that, he never gets close to The White House) he was able to fool and the blue-collar, populist-right of the Republican Party, that’s been in the Republican Party since the late 1960s, thanks to politicians like Richard Nixon, he can make believe that he’s fighting for these folks who believe that America has been going downhill since the 1960s, thanks to integration, immigration, the freedom for non-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant, blue-collar men, to make it on their own in America. These folks believe that they’re losing their America, that they want it back, and that Donald Trump is the man to bring it back for them.

But the fact is, the only thing, along with power, that Donald Trump has ever cared about, is himself. He’s just a conman who uses people to get what he wants.
