Same. For example, I have little doubt Trump staged his assassination attempt. His entire persona is schtick. Why? It works.

Every once in a while he says the truth.

"I don't care about you. I only need your vote. " - Truth

"Some people aren't willing to do what it takes to win.". - but, "They stole the election"

If the first one is true, he can't believe the second, and what's he referring to he would do? Stage it.
