Trump's blunt-force diplomacy

There's a new type of diplomacy around and it belongs to Donald Trump. It's called blunt-force diplomacy. To diplomats it's anathema because diplomacy is what it says it is, behind-the-scene, gentle wooing and intellectual persuasion. The Trump approach which Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, is trying to echo but it doesn't look easy for him, is in-your-face-stuff, like when he turned on Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House and tore him apart for daring to question his motives for ending the war in Ukraine. It wasn't even a stick-and-carrot situation, or a soft-cop-hard-cop scenario because the other protagonist in the room, Vice President JD Vance, gave Zelensky the third degree as well. So blunt force is the way ahead, although how much tough talking was involved in the Trump chat with Putin we will never know. It sounds like the two were very amicable. Trump probably never once raised his voice, let alone delivered any blunt-force questioning. This means Trump reserves his tough talking for people who are vulnerable like Zelensky and observes the more traditonal form of diplomacy for people like Putin. Now it seems Trump is trying to get the Chinese leader, President Xi Zinping, to meet him. I doubt he will use the blunt-force approach with him because if he did, he wouldn't get anywhere.
