POLITICO自家漫画家马特·沃克绘制的 插图唤起了以下这种动态，一位特朗普高级官员如此描述：“第一任期时，也许20%的人认为特朗普在拯救世界，而80%的人认为他们在拯救世界免受特朗普之害。现在大约95%的人认为特朗普在拯救世界，因此他们成了信徒。”

Now it’s like 95 percent of people think Trump is saving the world, and so they’re believers.”

“总统对此了解的比人们想象的要多，”洛布团队的一名成员在接受记者伊兰·格林伯格采访时表示，该采访是关于他们任务的一篇报道。“这足以让他因不知如何是好而感到不安。”
“It’s enough to leave him disturbed about what to do.”
