Trick Baby, Iceberg Slim, Joe Biden Character Profile

The 1973 film *Trick Baby*, based on the novel by Iceberg Slim, provides a character archetype for the "confidence man" that some compare to Joe Biden. The story follows "White Folks," a mixed-race con man who uses his ability to navigate different social circles to exploit the "dishonesty of the victim." This profile is used to analyze Biden's long career of bipartisanship and his ability to project whatever image a specific audience desires to see.
