  1. Trump's consistently straight-talking manner has a certain unexpected advantage: strangely perhaps, it creates trust. He's building real personal relationships with these world leaders by treating everyone the same, speaking the same to everyone. But more: consider your own experience of personal relationships, and how the relationship deepens when you've spoken face-to-face. I think it has to do with micro-expressions that become familiar AND that resonate meaningfully. Without that level of intimacy real trust is not possible. Trump, ya gotta love that guy! Even when he insults you, he's gentle about it. He really wants everybody to win. After he kicks your ass in a deal, he pats you on the back and says, "maybe you'll win next time"--AND MEANS IT!
