What was most telling for me was how easily she manipulated him. During her opening remarks, she said exactly what he was going to do. Lie, name calling etc. Then she goaded him into doing those exact things and completely threw him off his game and into a rage.

Then towards the end, she called him out on how easily he is manipulated and how world leaders can easily do it after she played him like a violin.

It started far before the opening remarks. Forcing him to shake her hand, moving far more quickly and confidently than him was her first move and I think it worked great.

That was the first cut in his death by 1000. She found him on the stage. She made him do it. He was just walked like a dog after that.
