In the book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff, a notable interaction between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and then-President Donald Trump is highlighted. Sisi praises Trump, calling him a distinctive individual capable of achieving extraordinary feats. This admiration reflects the unique dynamics of their diplomatic relationship.
Trump, known for his informal style, responds by complimenting Sisi's shoes, making a humorous remark about them. This exchange illustrates both the informal nature of Trump's interactions with global leaders and his tendency to focus on personal rather than political attributes, setting the tone for their relationship.
