I fully expected down-votes on this. Not a surprise at all. Their sleight of hand abilities are impeccable. For many not to see it is their intent. Therefore...down votes. Some of the down votes may very possibly be from the magicians themselves.
I’m fairly sure TC is aware of all who are funding the invasion. He started by asking BW, “Gee, who’s building that big bridge?” and BW played dumb there, why TC went on to later ask him the direct question about other funders (besides the US, UN and China). So it wasn’t just once BW skirted the issue, but twice. Apparently his role is to point at China and scream loudly (figuratively, of course) to make sure all eyes are on them and NOT on the players behind the Chinese. Sleight of hand, indeed, but omissions set red flags off in my tired, old brain.
The thing is, the evasion and topic-slide tell us something in the very fact they were put into practice - for those paying attention who aren’t emotionally-attached to the personalities. (Or the magicians themselves, as you posit. I got that feeling also as a distinct possibility).
