The guy will stoop to anything.

It would show he believes the public can be duped endlessly. I hope the people will show him how wrong he is, in time.

His choice to retain a Buddhist method is a way of trying to side-step being accused of trying to exploit ignorance and superstition which accrue over generations without enlightenment.

Smooth move, Macri. Your fellow criminals will applaud you.

He doesn't realize that he has also formally removed any use of the old "she put a spell on me" excuse in the future.
