"Thiessen may deserve credit for one of the surprises of Trump's second term: his continued, if measured, support for Ukraine in the face of hostility inside his party and his administration."
"Post opinion editor Adam O'Neal has told journalists that Thiessen's calls with Trump regarding Ukraine were influential in persuading Trump to continue to take the country's side in the conflict."
"Thiessen has told people at the Post that after one phone call with Trump, the president complimented the attractiveness of Thiessen's wife."
"Thiessen's rising star is emblematic of the president's hawkish turn, as well as of his break with various conspiratorial, isolationist voices on the right."

His conversations with Trump have reportedly swayed the president to maintain support for Ukraine despite opposition from some Republicans.

His rising influence reflects a shift towards a more hawkish stance, distancing Trump from isolationist figures like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who he criticizes for their views on Iran.
