Trump's unpredictability is a driving force of diplomacy at #UNGA this week <thread>

@AntonioGuterres

The UN breathed a giant sigh of relief yesterday, when he praised @AntonioGuterres and endorsed the Sec Gen's UN reform plan. /2

(That speech could have been delivered by any US president--of both parties)

@nikkihaley

.@nikkihaley has formed a close working relationship w/ @AntonioGuterres and clearly scripted that moment yesterday. /4

If that is the tone Trump brings today, rumors of the demise of liberal internationalism will have been premature. /5

However, a single tweet could undermine his scripted message. UN ppl want desperately want to stay off his twitter feed /6

Hence, the tremendous unease around the UN today. <end>
