This comment I take exception to "...yet continues to govern with a degree of over-confidence..." because he does NOT govern. He leads by the nose, he pushes and pulls and bullies but leadership and governance are, shamefully, not within his abilities.  He is a grasping, would be dictator who, like all of his ilk, is propped up by people who gain a financial advantage from his posturing and ineptitude and who will walk away should his usefulness evaporate.
BUT - ignore him at your peril for he is devious and wily.
