Jared comes from a family of crooks. Associating with another crook in the WH is nothing new for him. This is just a HUGE opportunity to pull off their greatest scam at the expense of the taxpayers. Who wouldn't be happy and calm? Already his father in law has made tens of millions funneling world leaders into his hotels, holding events at his golf clubs, and charging for secret service and other government representatives (think cabinet members) to stay at his hotels while he holds "meetings" with them. You would be calm, too, if the millions were flowing in at such a pace.

They are absolute opposite to each other in terms of the way they express that confidence, but they are both 100% confident whenever I've seen them.
Actually, there is a difference between confidence and bluster.

If Trump was confident, he would not need to brag and boast every other sentence, name drop, use superlatives to describe himself and basically constantly repeat how wonderful he is to other people. And he wouldn't be so freaked out over crowd size and ratings as a reflection of his self-esteem.

And his fanboys wouldn't have the need to tell you repeatedly how confident he is if they actually thought he was.

Trump has a lot of bluster.

It makes perfect sense, Charles Bukowski had confidence issues and made a saying that stupidly implies that all confident people are stupid.

One doesn't cover their face, if they have nothing to hide.

I think President Trump's confidence is always sky high.
Whereas his self-esteem is not sky high.

^^^^^ Very well stated.

And you can also tell the difference (on CD) between people who come across as confident, accomplished people who happened to vote for Trump, and 'fanboys'. The former will say they voted for Trump, give a reason or reasons why, and that's it...they've said their peace, and let the chips fall where they may....no 'fanboy panic'...for lack of a better way to put it.

Kushner is Jim Baker like. Gravitas without speaking a word.
