CNN to an ‘Uncharacteristically Restrained’ Trump: ‘You Think That Was Killing Him Not to Say Something?

‘even in the last week, going off script regularly’

EXCERPT:

MICHAELSON: "You think that was killing him, not to say something? That scenario, trying to show some respect."
KLEIN: "It's an uncharacteristically — yeah, uncharacteristically restrained President Trump there, usually would have something to say on that subject, many others. And we’ve seen him be quite free-wheeling in his public appearances, even in the last week, going off script regularly. But really in that situation, making clear that he understands he is Xi's guest here or just not wanting to talk about it."
MICHAELSON: "Right. And there’s also pressure from some of the Chinese folks that are used to handling media in the different way than maybe some of the American folks are used to handling media as well."
