Trump om håndtryk (uredigeret)
Donald Trump er igen blevet interviewet af New York Times, og igen har avisen valgt at lægge den uredigerede version af båndudskriften ud. Det er sgu altid med en blanding af væmmelse og fryd, man læser den slags med ham. Som her, hvor han taler om weekendens besøg i Frankrig:
”He [President Emmanuel Macron of France] called me and said, ‘I’d love to have you there and honor you in France’, having to do with Bastille Day. Plus, it’s the 100th year of the First World War. That’s big. And I said yes. I mean, I have a great relationship with him. He’s a great guy.
HABERMAN: He was very deferential to you. Very.
TRUMP: He’s a great guy. Smart. Strong. Loves holding my hand.
HABERMAN: I’ve noticed.
TRUMP: People don’t realize he loves holding my hand. And that’s good, as far as that goes.
TRUMP: I mean, really. He’s a very good person. And a tough guy, but look, he has to be. I think he is going to be a terrific president of France. But he does love holding my hand.”
