Trump did not stop at his own preferences, but also took the opportunity to criticize several prominent figures. Among them, he mentioned Elon Musk, whom he apparently considers 'the world’s unfunniest man'. He also referred to Nigel Farage, a close ally in the United Kingdom, who was recently rebuffed in his attempts to meet with Trump, despite his efforts to maintain a close relationship. This situation contrasts with the success of Liz Truss, who did manage to meet with the former president.
In addition, Trump criticized Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, using unusual language for diplomacy. Trump stated that Bin Salman 'sure didn’t think he would be kissing my ass, he really didn’t! And look now—he has to be nice to me. He better be nice to me, he’s got to be'. These statements reflect a direct and, at times, confrontational style of communication, which has been characteristic of Trump during his political career.
