>>> WELCOME BACK. WITH THE PRESIDENT NOW IN HIS
FINAL STOP OF HIS FIRST OVERSEAS TRIP SOME VIRAL IMAGERY.
WE ASKED JOSH KING TO TALK OPTICS.
JOSH IS A VETERAN EVENTS MAN AND HAS WRITTEN ABOUT THE STAGECRAFT
OF THE PRESIDENCY. HE IS THE AUTHOR OF "OFFSCRIPT."
WELCOME TO YOU. THINKING ABOUT YOU AS WE HAVE
WATCHED THESE VISUALS GO A BY. SOME PERSONAL FAVORITES THE
DANCE OF THE SWORDS WHICH CAN BE NEAR FATAL, THE SLOW DANCE AND
DANCE MIX VERSIONS. IT IS HARD TO LOOK COMFORTABLE
WHEN YOU ARE DANCING WITH A SWORD NOT ON HOME TURF.
IT WAS THE SAME NIGHT AS THE GLOWING ORB.
MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS LET'S SAY YOU ARE AN ADVANCE MAN FOR THE
PRESIDENT. THE SAUDIS SAY WE WANT THE
PRESIDENT TO PUT HIS HANDS ON GLOWING ORB.
WHAT DO YOU SAY? >> YOU GET THESE PROPOSALS WHEN
YOU DO PREADVANCE. THIS IS MONTHS OR WEEKS BEFORE A
TRIP HAPPENS. IT IS TOUGH TO VISUALIZE IF YOU
ARE PROBABLY WALKING THROUGH THE MIDDLE EAST MESSAGING CENTER AND
SEEING IT AS A CONSTRUCTION SITE AND THEY SAY THERE IS GOING TO
BE -- WELL, OKAY. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE SAUDIS
ARE MAKING A HUGE INVESTMENT IN THIS AND YOU ARE TRYING TO BE
THE GRACIOUS GUEST. AND THE TRIP STARTED OUT PRETTY
WELL EXCEPT THAT YOU ARE GOING TO FEED LATE NIGHT COMEDIANS
WITH THIS GLOWING ORB AND REFERENCES BACK TO WOODY ALLEN
AND SLEEPER. >> WE HAD SOME UNCOMFORTABLE
PICTURES INVOLVING PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY WHO ALSO HAPPEN TO BE
HUSBAND AND WIFE. SAW SOME FOLKS ON TWITTER HAVE
FUN WITH THE S.W.A.T. TEAM ON THE ROAD WITH THE PRESIDENT AND
FIRST LADY. HE EXTENDS HIS HAND.
IT SURE APPEARED TO BE BATTED AWAY.
SAME KIND OF THING HAPPENED COMING DOWN THE STAIRS OF AIR
FORCE ONE. SHE GAVE THE KIND OF FAKE DID
THE HAIR ADJUSTMENT. THIS IS A TOUGHER THING BUT SEEN
MILLIONS OF TIMES. >> I STUDIED AND WATCHED SCORES
OF TIMES MYSELF BECAUSE THEY GET TURNED INTO GIFTS AND YOU WATCH
THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I HAPPEN TO THINK THAT THOSE
COULD HAVE BEEN BOTH INNOCENT PHYSICAL GESTURES.
WILL THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES WANT TO DISS HER
HUSBAND IN PUBLIC WITH 20 STATE TV CAMERA PLACEMENTS LOOKING AT
EVERY ANGLE AS YOU DISEMBARK. WHEN THEY GOT TO THE SISTINE
CHAPEL IN ROME WHEN THEY DISEMBARKED TODAY IN SICILY
CERTAINLY HOLDING HANDS. I THINK LESSON LEARNED, A WIN
FOR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENTIAL HAND HOLDING.
>> FROM THE CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM MODEL I WANT TO SHOW THIS.
SOMEONE HAD FUN WITH THE PRESIDENT AND THE POPE.
>> PROFESSIONAL ISSUES ASIDE, ON A PERSONAL LEVEL M MEETING THE
POPE WAS A BIG DEAL FOR DONALD TRUMP.
WE HAVE SEEN HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING BETWEEN HIM AND
MELANIA LATELY WHEN TRUMP REACHED OUT YOU KNOW HE HAD TO
BE DISAPPOINTED THAT THE POPE WOULDN'T HOLD HIS HAND EITHER.
♪♪
>> EVERYBODY'S A COMEDIAN. WE HAVE 30 SECONDS LEFT BECAUSE
WE ARE COVERING AN ELECTION. TELL ME ABOUT THE VISUAL AID.
>> MIKE ALLEN WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY TRY TO KEEP PRESIDENT
TRUMP FROM TWEETING SO MUCH. ONE 069 WAYS THEY DO THIS IS
THIS. THIS IS A TRIP BOOK FROM EUROPE.
YOU PUT THESE TWO TOGETHER THIS IS AS MUCH SCHEDULE AS THIS TRIP
HAD. NINE DAYS ON THE ROAD.
YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW LITTLE HOLDING ROOM TIME AND LITND LIT
SCREEN TIME THE PRESIDENT HAD TO FORM AN OPINION OF NEWS BACK IN
THE UNITED STATES. YOU KEEP HIM ON THE GO THIS
MUCH. ALL THE EMBARKUATIONS ON AND OFF
THE AIRPLANE, MOVING AROUND THE SUMMIT TABLE EITHER NATO OR G-7.
THE GUY DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO
