Can you define what a good negotiator is? Who, in your estimation, qualifies as a good negotiator?
I think there are a ton of very negative, but true, statements you could make describing Donald Trump. It seems like he's not a strong reader, he's not very well educated, he's bad at reading a speech. He, unforgivably, seems to believe and actively promote crazy conspiracy theories, including that Obama was born in Kenya. Those are all clear, and I'm just sticking to personal attributes that would describe him without going into politics. The quotes you use to justify your comment all make very strong and from what I can tell accurate descriptions of Trump.
I think it's a stretch to try to say that someone who talked their way into winning a presidential primary and a national election is 'a bad negotiator'. It just doesn't scan.
- sunkenvicar 7y agoTrump also promoted the idea that Ted Cruz was born in Cuba. Perhaps President Trump attacks all his political opponents equally - as strongly as possible?
- ltbarcly3 7y agoSure, he could be lying when he says he believes crazy conspiracy theories, but I don't know if that is much of a defense: "He's not crazy, he just dishonestly manipulates crazy people who actually believe the insane theories he repeats".
- sunkenvicar 7y agoTrump lies. Just like all politicians. Trump is simply better at it than his opponents.
