Probably true about the edits.  But what I found interesting is the photo Merkel released showed her in what she assumed would look like a power position over the POTUS.


The photo that Merkel purposefully released to undercut Trump and make him look subservient? 

Nope.



Stephanopoulos: I’ve seen the picture.


Trump:  Right. She was looking at me, you know what we were doing? We were talking while we were waiting for the final copy of the document. That was, that was such an innocent picture. You know, we put out that picture. That was put out by my people.

Obama valued being liked, and reaching consensus/agreement, over everything else.

Trump doesn't care if he's liked, and doesn't value consensus or reaching agreement for its own sake.  He cares about the actual terms, nothing more.

That's actually the only truly adult position, but morons in the press and punditry have it exactly backwards.

Trump only cares that - no matter the subject - HE is what is being discussed, regardless of outcome. Don’t kid yourself.
