戏精安倍:一边和特朗普把酒言欢,一边想拆美国台

Double-dealer / two-faced man? 感觉原词的幽默感未传递过来。
Attention whore? 此处并不适用。

two-faced


Explanation:
Someone who is two-faced is not sincere, saying unpleasant things about you to other people while seeming to be pleasant when they are with you:


Example sentence(s):
  • I don't trust her - I suspect she's a bit two-faced.

a devious actor


Explanation:
This one looks better.
We know a 狐狸精 is called "the fox devil". 精 here actually borrows the connotation of "devil", so a devious actor or an acting devil is what you are looking for.
