Spill some beans. Get in the spirit, these one to six word, two sentence "conversations" are rather pointless.
How is answering your question and pointing out your need to label me disappearing?

Rather pointless for you, but he seems to dig it.

The conversational relationship between Nailer and most of us is asymmetric. Is the relationship at a point like 'I'm stopping the car, and somebody is getting out?' I don't know.

He is basically trolling with snarky one liners that don't make sense.

Mostly they do but containing enough ambiguity to be irritating.

That would be the trolling part.

Might not an apolitical viewpoint appear ambiguous to the politically driven?

Trump's ghostwriter on 'The Art of The Deal'...

“I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”

If he were writing “The Art of the Deal” today, Schwartz said, it would be a very different book with a very different title. Asked what he would call it, he answered, “The Sociopath.” New Yorker
