Trump often tells powerful men how handsome they are. It’s one of his favorite compliments. At one global gathering, he told the husband of one female official that he was so handsome he was “glad I don’t have to compete with you,” according to a source who witnessed the exchange.

Sen. David Perdue has gotten the same treatment, per a source with direct knowledge. The source said the Georgia Republican told him that Trump said: “You’re a really good looking man, you look the part. Those other guys [senators] don’t know to dress.” The president added, “Those bozos — it must be embarrassing to stand next to them on TV.”

Perdue found it hilarious.

At a trade meeting with members of Congress at the White House the week before last, Trump lifted up a board to show the room some charts. In doing so, he covered Rep. Robert Aderholt’s face. He then joked to the congressman, “I don’t want to cover you up. You’re such a good-looking guy.”
