Qatar’s #lobbying operation over the next year was an unconventional influence plan to target an unconventional president—and shows how much Mr. Trump has changed the rules of the game in the #influence industry.

New approaches include advertising during the president’s favorite television shows and forming ties with people who speak to him.
