the full clip of the knuckle tat exchange is worse than you can imagine. the stubborn old man is convinced the photoshop he saw was real, and he thinks the reporter is stupid for contesting this.

I think he’s telling the reporter, “this is how it is”. Trump is dumb and senile but idk if that’s fully what’s going on. The fascist, I’m right because I say I’m right agreed upon narrative plays a part too
no. he's not convinced it's real. he knows he's lying. he just always thinks that people will eventually cave to his lies, like a mental arm wrestling. so, don't cave!
He doesn't think the reporter is stupid. He's flat out telling him he wants the reporter to lie because he picked him precisely to do his bidding, and he's not playing along.
I dunno I think he’s just doing the thing where he lies, just says black is white and digs his feet in. I don’t think he’s addled at all. I think he’s a career liar, and does what works.

Neither is good!
And telling him he’s never heard of him and he’s a nothing.
