BI: Trump tries to call world leaders at odd hours, has to be reminded of different timezones

Trump has a particularly "bizarre" interest in French President Emmanuel Macron in this regard, according to what one former national security official told Politico.
At the same time he's super busy...

It never occurred to me that world leaders aren't really friends like that. That sucks.
It's just that nobody likes Trump. Also, the way he talks is pretty fucking nonsensical.
*Trump calls Macron at 2am Paris time*
Trump: Hey Emmanuel, what's up?
Macron: I'm pretty busy dealing with the problems you are causing us, is there anything I can help you with?
Trump: Oh I just had this great French dish called pizza, obviously we make the greatest ones at Trump Tower, but it made me think of you and I just wanted to hear if you still wanted to take me up on my deal to leave the EU?
*Macron hangs up*
Trump: Hello? Merkel are you there???

It's like the one guy in the FB group page/group chat who won't stop posting random crap as a vain attempt to fit in.
Didn't help for WW1 when some world leaders going at war were family.
I'm sure some are, or would like to be, but a) they're busy people, and b) they're cognizant of the necessary restraints that need to be put in place when such relationships can potentially be exploited.

I wish someone would photo shop that meme of Kevin Durant texting Russell Westbrook, but with Trump and Macron. It'd be so perfect.
I feel like these types of articles that paint Trump as an idiot are irresponsible and a big reason why a little of folks in the US have become numb to this.
Do people honestly believe that Trump with businesses all over the world doesn't understand Time Zones?
You'd have to be as naive as hardcore followers to believe this sort of thing.
These types of articles are drowning out real news that people should actually care about.

All he needs is a globe, if the sun is shinning on one side then it's not on the reverse and vice versa.
This has to be some art of the deal business asshole thing right?
Like 'call them when you know it's inconvenient, it shows them you aren't to be messed with and throws them off balance, then try to sell them that used car'

I'm sure he doesn't. He's probably used to people doing whatever and answering the phone any time. Just the white house's line about him being too busy is a bunch of bullshit and reeks of arrogance and elitism. It's a flimsy excuse at best.
What is kind of revealing is that it does seem like Trump is pretty much just a figurehead if all he does is watch TV, tweet, and make random phone calls all day. Like what is he actually doing? Who is actually running the executive? Kelly and Miller?
The man had the same book on his nightstand for a decade. Assistants intentionally misspell words when writing messages for him so it matches his candor. He is that dumb. Problem is he's a good conman. You don't have to be smart to con people, you've just got to have insane narcissistic confidence.
He's gonna need a band aid for that wound.I guess Macron left an... "impression"
I believe his mind is going or has left entirely. Have you ever heard the man speak?
It's blatantly clear each cabinet member just does whatever the fuck they like and they only get reined it when they make him look bad.
Before meeting with the Prime Minister of India he boned up on his South Asia knowledge by looking at a map, and pronounced Nepal as "nipple" and Bhutan as "button".... this is a true story from the year 2018

Meanwhile, a world leader calls at 9 a.m., only to be told Trump hasn't started his workday yet and to call back at 11.
Yeah whenever someone tries to breakdown and give reasoning behind what Trump does it just makes him sound stupider.
