Trump praised as a "skillful showman" by Harald Schmidt
In a recent interview with the German Press Agency in Cologne, Harald Schmidt, a renowned former late-night talk show host, shared his insights on the White House seating arrangement and US President Donald Trump.
Schmidt noted that Vice President JD Vance, Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio's seating arrangement on a White House couch offers some intrigue. He did not, however, express any political opinions about Trump's policies in this statement.
Regarding the White House seating arrangement, Schmidt confirmed that there is a chair reserved for a European guest. Interestingly, the European individual who sits next to President Trump when he is a guest at the White House is not explicitly named in the available search results.
Schmidt views Trump as a "great guest" on David Letterman's show in the past and believes that Trump's statements come naturally to him. One of the statements he mentioned was Trump's reference to Kim Jong Un as "Little Rocket Man."
Schmidt finds it challenging for satirists to make fun of Trump, stating that one must look very closely to find something humorous about him. He also expressed his disinterest in cultural articles that say "This is not my America."
Despite not expressing any opinion on Trump being good or bad, Schmidt does view Trump as a gifted entertainer. Contrary to some assumptions, Schmidt stated that Trump does not require a writer for his statements.
It's worth noting that the labels of Trump being a "genius entertainer" and not needing a writer were comments made by Schmidt, not direct quotes from Trump himself. Schmidt's insights provide an interesting perspective on the dynamics within the White House and the public perception of Trump's style and communication.
