“During the first year of his second term, President Trump used the Oval Office in a way his predecessors haven’t, as a veritable reality show with a revolving cast of world leaders,” the New York Times reports.
“More than 40 international leaders made the trek to Washington to meet with the American president last year, many with the cameras rolling.”
“There were ambushes, threats, obsequious displays and the realignment of longstanding American foreign policy. Where previous presidents would have briefly posed for a photo before getting down to business behind closed doors, Mr. Trump relished the spectacle of the lengthy exchanges in front of the press in an Oval Office he has redecorated in gold.”
