• Last year, on an early July morning, Trump tweeted that he would reinstate the ban on transgender troops in the military. He did so without informing the Pentagon, which had been working on a plan to integrate those troops into its ranks, pursuant to a directive from President Obama’s Defense secretary, Ash Carter.
Officials followed up on Trump’s tweet with more planning seeking to accommodate the president's concerns. Just last month, the administration announced a policy that would bar most transgender people from the military, though legal challenges have prevented the new restrictions from taking effect.

3. Emmanuel Macron had reportedly studied Donald Trump’s style of domineering power-grabbing handshakes, apparently prepared to avoid being outdone by his counterpart. Instead, it was President Trump who at one point in the 5-second-long handshake attempted to withdraw his hand from Macron’s firm grasp.
The maneuver marked the start of what has become a close partnership between the two leaders, who recently joined forces along with the United Kingdom to strike Syria earlier this month.
“It’s no secret that President Trump and President Macron enjoy a good working relationship. I may say a close personal relationship,” a senior administration official said in a briefing with reporters.
