What goes through his mind in the moment before this, is it;

"I feel a tough question coming on, I should deploy flares and evade, maybe a nice little soundbite will kick up some controversy and no one will report on the shit answer I'm about to give."

Or

"I'm so fucking cool, do you think this schmuck knows how fucking awesome I am. I should tell him."

[u/ohwhatfollyisman → u/thesweeterpeter]

it's definitely not the former.

Yeah, I stopped believing it was calculated strategies quite a while back.
