Mumbrella360: ‘Utterly arrogant and negative’ – Julie Bishop spills on working alongside Trump, Obama and Biden

Trump is ‘arrogant but authentic’; Obama is ‘exceptionally intellectual’; Biden is ‘like an uncle’, and Boris Johnson can ‘turn anything into a joke,’ according to Australia’s former foreign minister.

Julie Bishop, who has worked alongside some of the world’s most prominent political figures during her career, wasn’t afraid to spill all on the main stage at Mumbrella360 on Thursday.

Emphasising the link between authenticity and strong leaders, Bishop said: “Those who portrayed themselves as they really were the most successful leaders.”

“It didn’t mean they were likable or charming, it didn’t mean you would want to go and have a drink with them, but they were their authentic selves and people either embraced it or didn’t,” Bishop said.
