  • 00:00When I was playing golf with President Trump, we had a really good time. What was President Trump like on the golf course? He played for us. Yeah, very talkative. You know, golf is a nice social setting. Again, going back to my dad, I remember my dad being very encouraging to say Alex, even if you don't become a golf professional, golf will be useful for you one day. And I was going, Oh yeah, sure, Dad. And sure enough, there I was on the first tee with President Trump. And, you know, I had a good time. And it doesn't you know, the fact that you have a good time with someone doesn't mean they agree with him, especially coming from a small country. What you want to do is, is you want to, you know, nudge things in the right direction. And that means that you have conversations which sometimes can be difficult and awkward. Sometimes they can be good. And then, you know, the rest of it is about getting results. And I hope I get results with my diplomacy. But if you have a good time, does it mean that they listen to your arguments more? I don't know. You have to ask them. What do you what did you learn about him? I mean, is he differently? You know, this is the thing and I've always said this, that funnily enough, and I hadn't really played golf for 35 years. I mean, when I quit, I quit. So but I've always said it. You learn about the personality of a human being on the first hole of a golf course. You see if they're edgy, if they're impatient, if they're frustrated, if they're fun, if they're relaxed. And I have to say, I had no uncomfortable moments during that round. And we hit good shots and bad shots. So, you know, people are quite different on the golf course sometimes.
