    No his deals are objectively bad. You are right that hes powerful and thats what is highlighting how bad his negotiating skills are. He has the power and the cards to impose his will and he can’t. He gets fucked around and played like a fool. He threatens countries then uses all his power and influence to get a worse version of the deal he already had. Any other human in that spot walks in and gets the same deal or better.

    As far as rich people go its not hard to offer 50 billion in tax breaks and get a return yet trump does it all for pennies on what he could get.

      How would you know how hard it is? You don’t. He makes profits without using his money. That’s a successful deal.

        I can trade away 100b of someone else’s money and get back $10 and its obvious thats a bad deal.

        Thats what trump is doing and people like you look at it like wow he got $10 for free amazing!

            No because he is trading 50b he could have easily gotten around the amount he gave away.

            If someone would trade you $100 you probably be willing to pay anything up to $99 for that. Trump got paid $10 because he is not respected and hes to dumb to keep up.

                Congratulations you’ve got the same level of intelligence as Trump.

                  The twice president and future ruler of the most powerful nation on earth? Not too shabby, then.
