Trump's narcissistic personality is the most fundamental element and component of his decision-making. For this reason, various countries and actors today are trying in various ways to both protect themselves from him and to take it into account in opposing Trump and gaining his approval to a large extent.
According to Khabar Online, Khorasan Newspaper wrote: Putin has also found Trump's sleeping vein, and his words about American policies are usually focused on praising Trump.
The press conference with the King of Jordan a few days ago is another indication of this claim. Although Abdullah II emphasized his country's position of "definitely" opposing the displacement of Palestinians both before and after the trip, he appeared somewhat flustered in front of the cameras in this press conference and did not openly oppose Trump's plan, and was concerned about taking a clear position that would anger Trump in front of the cameras.
The reason is that Trump's unpredictability is truly frightening to many, and this is what makes some behave so cautiously, lest they, for example, show disrespect to Trump in front of the camera or adopt a passive reaction and position that would be very costly for a country like Jordan. For this reason, it seems that the King of Jordan has preferred not to show any direct opposition to Trump himself, lest the bully host become passive in front of the world and be forced to take a tough stance that would later be impossible to reverse.
This double caution made Abdullah II appear weak, agitated, and distraught; to the point that Trump answered some of the media's questions about his guest.
It should not be forgotten that in this "distress", the King of Jordan's rhetoric was, in a way, that the most Jordan would accept was to accept 2,000 Palestinian children with cancer and injuries for treatment, not to force them to migrate. After the meeting, in several posts on X Network in English and Arabic, he again expressed his country's "strong opposition" to the displacement of Palestinians, and his prime minister and foreign minister also took a strong stance.
