Yesterday, it was with Australian PM Turnbull whose crew had been publicly very supportive of Trump and especially on this immigration issue. Up came the 1,250 refugee deal that risked making Trump look like he lacked control, and he reacted pretty badly and very publicly. And that was with a long-time ally and ongoing supporter.
- hackuser 10y agoAn article I wish I could find pointed out that Trump regularly acts against people who support him, often openly humiliating them. Turnbull isn't alone. The theory was that Trump respects strength only and not political support. Remember the President of Mexico met with Trump during the campaign, yet with a Mexican delegation in DC Trump humiliated him over Twitter. Note that Trump has very few political allies in DC.
