I don't think he's a buffoon - that is just a front to appeal to certain members of the public. I think he is a very dangerous man who knows exactly what he is doing.
This^ You don’t have the ability to read /write in dead languages and not have the ability to answer tricky questions from journalists. He’s carefully created a personality of ‘buffoon’ as it allows him to get away without the scrutiny that our politicians should be held to. falling for this and suggesting he’s an idiot is as dangerous as thinking he’s ‘charming’. He’s utterly dangerous, let’s not pretend he’s daft.
