When President Trump this week regaled a fancy New York hotel ballroom full of journalists with a tale of how China’s leaders respect him for his “very, very large brain,” it rang a bell with me. Ah yes, I thought, as I observed the ripple of laughter the president’s remark elicited: Mr. Trump’s NATO summit press conference, just a few weeks earlier in Brussels. In that case, hundreds of mostly foreign journalists had assembled in a large press conference tent to glean any clues as to the US leader’s intentions for the transatlantic alliance.
