Time will tell. On a freedom event where he was only semi official he was to attend (due to threats of arrest mid travel by Manitoba Stasi), I didn’t meet him myself but was in a crowd of several folks I went along with a few feet away, and seemed happy to shake people’s hands, hug people, take pics, selfies, answer questions, hear what they had to say, over and over again. I counted most out of 30 people in my group stopping him and talking to him one by as he was making his way up to the podium. The questions were quite similar but he addressed them over and over.

He looked a bit tired behind the sunglasses and he was getting a bit monotone and hoarse/energy dipping at the end and edge of the crowd at the podium side and TBH talking to a zillion people would try my patience too.

Ultimately I’m going to reserve judgement and from his spirit and mannerisms only a few feet away, he appears to be just a normal man, he is like anyone else, no media training, not a trained public speaker. His heart seems to be in the right place from what I saw, if I’m wrong, I have lost nothing.
