So essentially, how could he not but become the center of attention here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Trump biographer, who has written four tell-alls on the president, continued, \u201cYou have to understand that there is no meaning beyond that. It\u2019s not about anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat has this 10 years of the Trump era been about? It has just been about what gets him attention,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Trump, who used to masquerade as his own publicist to court the tabloids during his days as a New York real estate developer, seized the spotlight at the summit by attacking America\u2019s most important allies, scolding Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and Britain for not joining his war on Iran. He also renewed his demand for control of Greenland.<\/p>\n<p>But the reality-TV celebrity-turned-president abruptly changed his tune in a private meeting with NATO leaders, later declaring, \u201cIt was a great meeting, there was a lot of love in that room, a lot of unity,\u201d upending the narrative that had until then defined the summit.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3195\">Trump \u2018Embarrassed\u2019 Over Last-Minute Air Force One Swap<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, it is strange when you hear earnest and utterly sincere journalists trying to make sense out of what he does,\u201d co-host Joanna Coles said.<\/p>\n<p>She suggested Trump\u2019s insatiable need for attention may have its roots in childhood, but Wolff argued the opposite, saying, \u201cHe has always gotten too much of it, and that has created an addiction which obviously has to be&#8230; satisfied with ever more attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that this \u201cpersonality quirk\u201d ultimately manifests itself in a U.S. foreign policy that wreaks havoc on America\u2019s alliances. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur foreign policy is not to cooperate with our allies because&#8230; our allies are irrelevant, we are the focus, we must be the focus, and by we Trump means \u2018I\u2019 must be the focus,\u201d Wolff said. \u201cThat then becomes&#8230; the profile of America\u2019s place in the world&#8230; No other interests matter, no other nations matter, no other leaders matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When reached for comment, White House spokesman Davis Ingle sent the Daily Beast a shortened version of a statement that his boss, Steven Cheung, regularly uses: \u201cMichael Wolff is a lying piece of s&#8211;t.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i><b>Find and subscribe to Inside Trump\u2019s Head with Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles on <\/b><\/i><i><b>YouTube<\/b><\/i><i><b> and <\/b><\/i><i><b>wherever you get your podcasts<\/b><\/i><i><b>.
