World Leaders Prefer Pence Because ‘Unpredictable’ Trump Sees Diplomacy As ‘Nuisance,’ Report Claims
Stoic, calm, composed, and always in control, Vice President Mike Pence is thought to be a more competent leader than Donald Trump, at least abroad. Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and other foreign diplomats prefer Pence over Trump, a new Washington Post report claims.
Not only do world leaders feel more comfortable discussing international affairs with Pence, but they are also actively seeking the vice president out, as he is thought to be the less unpredictable, according to the report. But there appears to be a problem. President Donald Trump is known for changing his political positions daily, flip-flopping on decisions, abruptly pulling out of trade deals, and generally thought of as a mercurial, unpredictable leader. This reportedly makes Mike Pence’s job tougher as well.
