One veteran entertainment journalist is now pointing out something they all have in common. In a Sunday essay for the New York Times, Lisa Schwarzbaum -- who was a longtime film critic for Entertainment Weekly -- observed that many Americans have likened Trump's meetings with foreign heads of state to reality TV. But she cautioned that world leaders may end up avoiding the White House altogether to avoid being caught up in the media spectacle that typically ensues after each meeting.

"You have something special and important here. Somehow you manage to teach and suggest and introduce the reader to concepts in a way that feels inclusive. Like, we're thinking about it together. Partly it might be because the subject, bottom-up, is innately understood by all of us and so it feels like you're stirring up stuff we already know. But also I think it's because you truly are practiced at connection consciousness and so it's natural for you (I'm guessing) to write about it with a desire to include us. As a reader I was learning more because it feels like you're inviting me to think with you."
