- AnimalMuppet 7y agoI think that Trump has a particular negotiating style, which is to be all over the map. You're a wonderful person, and he's delighted to have the opportunity to do something wonderful with you; then you're the dirt under his shoe and there will never ever be a deal with someone as wretched as you; the terms of the deal will be one thing, then something else much less favorable to you, then the deal is off, then it's back on but the terms are different. I think it's a schtick that he's used in real estate for a very long time, to get the best deal he can out of people who get tired of being yanked around and just want a deal to get done. I think it's very much improvisational and seat-of-the-pants. What you're asking (whether Trump knew this as a consequence and pushed for it) would be much more like deep strategic thinking. I don't think that's his style.
- toasterlovin 7y agoExactly. Previously the US has been run by people who are the scrupulously honest, diligent, forthright types. And anybody who was willing to get a little aggressive walked all over us. Trump totally flips that dynamic around. He is the guy who is aggressive, belligerent and unpredictable. As much as he may be a reprehensible human being, I’ve been on the other side of the table from people who negotiate like this and it’s refreshing to have one of them in America’s corner.
