I got news for you, but you'll probably call it fake since it doesn't come fromPravda or IzvestaHuffpo or Salon. He's president he needs to meet with diplomats to do his presidenting type stuff. Also ambassadors need to meet with him and his aids so they can do their ambassadoring type stuff.
Also you keep using Alt-Right as if that has no meaning. Trump isn't alt-right, most of his supporters are not alt-right, in fact the alt-right is incredibly small unless you want the alt-right to be everyone who isn't an authoritarian globalist (or as I like to call them, patriots).
What is this fixation on Donald Trump as "Daddy"? He's even a dysfunctional husband and father. Does he remind you of something? He is a model of an authoritarian leader. Having gone from Hoxha as a model to Trump -- you have had a strange set of values.
Fascists and Commies have much the same political ethos as gang members -- cross the Big Boss, even subtly, and die horribly. I'm not a psychologist or psychiatrist, and if I were I wouldn't seek to analyze you from a distance. I'm looking more from the angle of the late Eric Hoffer, whose True Believer made seemingly-absurd jumps in ideology from one extremist cause to another. The True Believer could go from being a Gestapo brute to being a Stasi brute, and the rank-and-file Arrow Cross, Iron Guard, and Ustase thug found that he could punish the same objects of brutality (liberals who believed in parliamentary democracy) by turning his loyalties toward Stalin or Tito. Nationalist China had its fanatics, and once Mao took over they often survived by becoming Commie enforcers. But before that, renegade socialists (like Mussolini) and even Communists (like Doriot) became fascists and Nazis. He's the extreme secularist of the fascistic regime of Satan Hussein who becomes the brutal thug of the Islamic State. It is telling that one documentary suggested that Magda Quandt Goebbels (yes, the wife of the master of the Big Lie) might almost as easily have become a fervent Zionist as a fervent Nazi. Finding her alleged stepfather (a Jew -- and genetic evidence shows that he was her biological father!) inconvenient, she sacrificed him on behalf of her husband's murderous cause.
Boris Pasternak gave us one of the most blatant examples in the character Victor Hypocrite- (excuse me, Ippolitovich) Komarovsky, an Establishment figure who hedges his bets on his survival and privilege with dalliances with the revolutionaries. Whoever loses he will sell out to their doom and his gain.
The True Believer has no principles -- only a lust for power and its perquisites. This is the sort who would join the Klan and loudly proclaim the need to protect white Christians in extreme danger, only to sell out the people that he supposedly depends to Communists or Islamic militants.
I will settle for a humane, liberal pragmatism any day.
And, yes, the 'dirt' on your Great and Infallible Leader, your Idol with Clay Feet, is getting more convincing and more blatant every day. As the late Sam Ervin said, innocent people accused of horrible crimes but have exculpatory evidence come rushing to the DA to offer evidence that can give them safety from prosecution. Say what you want, but reality about your beloved Donald Trump is beginning to look like what Rachel Maddow says it is. She insists upon following the money and fact-checking. I wish that it hadn't been so bad -- but that would require someone other than Donald Trump as President.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
