And after a landslide victory in 1964, the 6'4" LBJ would perfect what is known as "the Johnson Treatment." "He would put his arm around you if he was trying to persuade (thuyết phục) you of something," Caro said, "and he'd lean into your face and talk to you, nose-to-nose."
That photo has become emblematic (biểu tượng) of what became known as the Johnson Treatment—Lyndon Johnson’s persuasive tactics (chiến thuật) described by Mary McGrory as “an incredible, potent mixture of persuasion, badgering, flattery, threats, reminders of past favors and future advantages.”
Perhaps the most defining element of President Johnson’s persuasion was the Johnson Treatment itself—he was willing to push people. For better or worse, he would harangue (hô hào), threaten, flatter and bully.
