Inside Trump's Playbook for Dealing with Foreign Leaders
June 14, 2018 at 7:02 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Mike Allen: “It took Little Rocket Man just seven months to go from President Trump calling him ‘a sick puppy,’ to ‘very talented’ during the post-summit press conference, to syrupy praise of Kim Jong-un during the president’s interview in Singapore with Fox News’ Bret Baier.”
“The shift is jarring but is part of the Trump modus operandi: People come in and out of favor with wind-shear-like abruptness. Anyone in Trump’s orbit knows they can be banished on a whim — but have a good chance of coming back.”
“There’s no nuance with Trump. He oscillates between extremes, embracing and banishing people, even without real changes in their behavior.”
