Carl Bernstein: In hundreds of highly classified phone calls with foreign heads of state, President Trump was so consistently unprepared for discussion of serious issues, so often outplayed in his conversations with powerful leaders
and so abusive to leaders of Americas principal allies, that the calls helped convince some senior US officials including his former secretaries of state and defense, two national security advisers and his longest-serving chief of staff that the President himself posed a danger to the national security of the United States.
The sources said there was little evidence that the President became more skillful or competent in his telephone conversations with most heads of state over time. Rather, he continued to believe that he could either charm, jawbone or bully almost any foreign leader into capitulating to his will, and often pursued goals more attuned to his own agenda than what many of his senior advisers considered the national interest.
