There is, indeed, a question about Trump's "leadership". In a serious discussion with Vladimir Putin, or Li Keqiang It will simply not be effective to bellow "liar, liar", or call them "Little Li", or "Lying Vlad". It's not leadership to bellow loudest.
Since when do they have debates with 6 Russians calling the President names and tearing apart his life? That is the point. Seems that Vladimir respects him.
Just like he bellowed the loudest to build what he has, or he was just lucky to win all of those contract and get them done under budget and under time. Right, just keep telling yourself that and that Romney really didn’t lose.
"U.S. military expenditures are roughly the size of the next nine largest military budgets around the world, combined."
If you are the 800 pound gorilla, there is no need to be nice. As Obama has proven, making nice makes us appear weak. And THAT itself is dangerous.
Ah, but a debate or a rally is NOT a ‘serious discussion’. It’s a display of one-upping your opponent.
For dealing with the leaders, you’re going to let them think how wonderful they are, how you love what they’re doing, and you get them to agree with what you want. It’s called the art of the deal.
You have to respond to attacks in politics. Diplomacy has no correlation to a political campaigns.
That Trump has negotiated thousands of successful business deals indicates he is quite well equipped to handle Diplomacy
I think he'll do fine.
What I noticed about him is that he is able to communicate with people at their level.
He also does not attack unless attacked first, in which case, he fights back. he doesn't turn the other cheek. he fights back at the level he was attacked.
Show him disrespect, he will disrespect you.
Also, consider his business, if he acted like a juvenile throughout these past 35 years, would he have been so successful? I think he will do well with other leaders. They're human after all and all have some thing which is juvenile.
