      I honestly believe that he knows he is full of shit and arguing in bad faith, but he knows it keeps him in the money. He is entirely too clever to beleive everything he says.

        Iono, he’s said some insanely stupid stuff that only embarrasses him and doesn’t help him politically. Have you seen his writing before he became famous? Ridiculous stuff. I think he just has an unchecked ego hopelessly warped by his sycophant backers.

        Basically exactly what the previous commenter said, dunning-kruger effect over and over and over.
