I thought of you when I first watched this exchange and about how hateful it was for all Liberians. The information about the language was in his daily briefing, though who knows if he took the time to sit through that (which I think has been reduced to one page because he has the attention span of a very young child). Personally I think this was intentional. Looking at his past interactions with the leaders of countries he perceives as "less than" it is obvious he likes to make them uncomfortable, to "put them in their place". He has already referred to the countries of Africa as shithole countries. This was his way of conveying his contempt without saying it outright. The fact he says it over and over again is evidence of that.
It's the briefing and the preparation that I think about too! I'm always left wondering what happens before he's in a public forum and if anything actually sticks. 😂 I agree with you that there's a point to him making people feel uncomfortable, and it's so unfortunate that this is now the representation we have on the global stage. 😑
