A little boy in the body of an old man, playing president. Behaving as a tough guy as he has seen it on TV in some crime movies form his childhood: fist on the table, stomping feet, straight talking, jovial tapping on the shoulder: "Ain't we two tough fellas getting along so nicely?! The world is ours, shake hands - deal! Lets smoke chocolade cigarettes together." Little brain, brain's just for whimps, shooting bullets from the hip, bam-bam-bam-! thats for tough guys, bambam-bam-bam!, talking monkey, that is manly, no, that is
serious! That is
honest! That is grreat (tm)! Everythign else is FAKE! Is UNFAIR!
Infantile. Simply
infantile. Mercilessly revealing how unripe and immature this little boy is.
Thats the friendly way to describe it. There is another way to tell the narration: an old man with clear signs of senile dementia and age-related mawkishness that old people sometimes come up with when reaching the high age, all this combined with a certain choleric temper, inbred megalomania and and a certain kind of weepiness.
Needing to balance all this against each other, it is no wonder that he behaves as ridiculous as he does.
