Possibilities:

1️⃣ arrogance

2️⃣ no fear of repercussions of the truth being talked about with other leaders whom they assume are doing the same thing

3️⃣ don’t consider that these type of pranksters are out there

4️⃣ self importance that they’d never turn down a chance to talk with other leaders who they see as possible allies or sympathetic to their philosophy

5️⃣ the pranksters are really good 😂🤷
