You don't really lead people you insult.
Trump's posture leaves no room for error, he is an arrogant narcissist too dumb to recognize how despised he has become.
I wonder what the German Leader was saying to Trump, but it seems to have had an effect on both Trump and Bolton as their body language suggests.
Mindful of his past, when he pushed another nation's leaders aside to be in front for a picture, his needs to be seen as a leader is both scary and comedic; he seems to take himself seriously even though his peers see his recent assent to high status (POTUS) is not generally accepted or respected.
