    I don’t think either man has thick enough skin to allow insults like this to be made public even if they are in on the joke. They don’t see themselves through their own eyes. I’m guessing they only see what they imagine others are seeing.

      This is my take on it too.

      I really don’t think it’s likely that they’re just posturing as a distraction - I don’t think either one of them is that subtle. But even if they are, I think they’re both so thin-skinned that even if they didn’t start out serious, they’re going to end up that way.
