President Donald Trump's private calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin sometimes have the tone of 'two guys in a steam bath,' according a bombshell account that portrays Trump as bending over backward to win the strongman's approval. During those calls and others with foreign leaders, Trump regularly tries to tout his own wealth and success, according to the report. Trump has blasted Germany for failing to meet a 2 per cent NATO commitment on defense spending, which Trump calls 'dues.' Trump's conversations with former British Prime Minister Theresa May were described as 'humiliating and bullying.' A spokesman for Mr Morrison denied the claims, saying: 'The Prime Minister has only ever had polite, respectful and positive calls with the President'.
