Trump with his props at the interview. Gives Woodward his poster of pic w Kim

[Demovictory9]

During that same interview, Woodward notes Trump had filled his desk with what Woodward describes as "props." "The parchment appointment orders of the judges stacked in the middle of the desk, the large rolls of pictures of him and Kim, and a binder with letters from Kim," Woodward writes. "I knew it was a big show."

Woodward explains: "I had interviewed Presidents Carter, Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama in the Oval Office. All sat in the standard presidential seat by the fireplace and did not have props."

A week later, on December 13, 2019, when Woodward returned to interview the President again, Trump was still fixated on the photos and insisted on giving Woodward a poster-sized print of Trump and Kim.

"Do you have a round thing for this so he can take it? Or even a rubber band or something. Because you can't fold it, you'll ruin it. I don't even know why I'm giving it to you. That's my only one," Trump said.

1. Donnie playing show any tell. Literally.

[Claustrum]

2. It's always that way with his photo ops.

There are always tons of props, stacks of paper with no words on them, etc.

He is all about the PR aspects but none on the substance.

I've worked with bosses similar to Trump. They like to have their buzzwords when they talk. But if you have even a few years experience in the field and try to listen to a few minutes of his speech, you realize he has absolutely zero idea what he is talking about. So everyone around the table smile but rolls their eyes as they try to look away. And they tend to never shut up because they think their speech is so great and they impress everyone around them, while in reality everyone knows they are full of shit.

4. I had a.boss.who behaved that way..would use the word "paradigm" in

30 minute speeches at meetings. Unbearable

[Midnight Writer]

7. Yep. I know this guy. I've worked for him.

3. Why would he think anyone would be impressed by his relationship with Kim?

This makes no sense, unless Putin told him to cozy up to Kim.

Why would he be in love with international outcasts? They have flattered him?

He’s a doofus, I’ll never figure him out.

[dawg day]

8. He got jollies from thinking about Kim killing

his relatives. It thrilled him.

[tinrobot]

5. And that's just the dictator he fools around with on the side

I can't imagine how much he loves Putin.

Maybe Putin doesn't need blackmail on him. Trump just has a man crush.

6. Wait ... Is this about DJT and rocketman?

I thought it might be about Kanye's wife but then I realized just now this whole thing about the Dictator club.

Felt bad for how pitiful that whole thing is when I thought it was Kardashian, but Wow... now it's just like... how hollow can a person be inside?

[wishstar]

9. Part of his goal of obtaining Nobel Peace Prize because Obama received one

He's trying to convince people that we avoided nuclear war with N Korea only due to him.

10. Bet he looooved talking to Woodward because Bob really paid attention to him.

So many people pretend to listen when I'm talking. Bob listens carefully and asks all kinds of questions about what I said--he gets me!
