They're very proud people.

The leadership there is very proud.

They are a superpower also.

It's not like you're going to, you know, he's going to some state where, you know, South Dakota or North Dakota, talking to the governor, he's talking to a superpower.

It reminds me of like,

When you were a kid and someone would be like, you're my best friend.

You're like, I'm your best friend, but you're not my best friend.

That's what it feels like with some of these relationships with Donald Trump is that he anticipates that he has these strong personal relationships because they pulled out the little red carpet.

They gave him a gift.

They talked nice about him.

And when you talk to ambassadors, as I have, as I know you have,

who are in those rooms who prep their leaders for these kinds of visits, is they prep their leader to basically just shower him with praise.

Shower him with praise.

He will kind of be nice to you and you guys can probably get what you want.

But then when the leader leaves in that post-meeting that they all have with the ambassador, the leader's rolling their eyes, laughing at Trump.

A lot of them look at him and see him as someone who's not prepared, right?

He famously doesn't

read all of the documents that other presidents tend to read.

He goes off of his instincts.

Any of them.
