Donald Trump, the thirstiest president, has a habit of calling world leaders late late late into the night.
“When he wants to call someone, he wants to call someone,” one source told Politico. “He’s more impulsive that way. He doesn’t think about what time it is or who it is.”
His favorite times to talk, it seems, are the horniest times. Advisers have reportedly talked Trump out of calling Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at booty call hour, telling him “the time is messed up, it’s 1 o’clock in the morning.”
But Trump’s favorite leader to gab with is French President Emmanuel Macron, the guy married to the hot wife:
Trump has what one former Trump national security official calls a “bizarre” fascination with calling French President Emmanuel Macron. “He wanted to talk to him constantly … Macron would be like: ‘Hey what are we talking about?’ These are very busy people. You don’t just call to check in,” the official said. (The White House official said Macron has requested a majority of the calls.)
Cute.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders described Trump’s childish impulsiveness as professionalism, somehow. “The president has developed strong relationships and good rapports that are not only friendly, but also allow for candid conversations with many of America’s closest allies,” she told Politico. “He has even worked the phone with our competitors, injecting stability into bilateral relationships that are undergoing contentious, but necessary readjustments to place American interests first. Foreign leaders appreciate that the President is willing to take their calls day and night.”
My condolences to all world leaders.
