Recs? I unintentionally rip people off all the time, what's weird is when I do it without hearing them beforehand.

Then why do you do it* so often?
*Just to be clear, by "it" I'm referring to making meaningless, nonconstructive, and boring posts which you have said to be a trademark of mine. "It" does not refer to other trademark elements of my personality such as sexiness, pretentiousness, sense of humour, or intelligence.

It's also a chance for heads of state to learn a bit of humility by meeting, honouring and talking, both to and about specific ordinary citizens, regarding them as more than just voters to be wooed. It's a real showcase of a President's charisma and empathy as well, and they get it wrong at their peril, as happened when the Queen misjudged the public mood after Lady Di was killed. She had to endure some of the worst headlines of her entire reign. The only one I still remember said, "Show us you care, ma'am" which is pretty ludicrous at one level, but that's how many people felt at the time: cheated because they didn't have a mourning figurehead on tv.

And, yes, back on topic, I agree with TH and OH: Trump is just creepy, with his deadpan, off-to-the-side, autocue pronouncements.
