    Trump is a weird guy. He used to go around and give out his personal cell number to head of states from other countries so others can call him in case of serious events and they can resolve it over the phone (at least this is what is reported in the Chinese media, and he gave it to Xi as well)

    He treats international geopolitics like he’s doing businesses, as if the diplomatic affairs between countries are being decided only by a few people at the top.

      I know many, many people that think governments should not only be run as businesses, but they are businesses. One of them is a small time capitalist that really doesn’t understand what government is supposed to do, they think it’s literally a business that you vote for. agony-shivering
