Ryan Lizza is just another frothing left-wing propagandist. He understands nothing about what Trump is up to. Lizza merely channels the whiny propaganda from Mexican officials. Trump has changed the game.
The Mexican leadership is a bowl of jello right now.
They aren’t going to dictate terms any longer.
There will be no open border. They will take their criminals back. We’re no longer going to be their human waste bin.
Start acting like a good neighbor, and we’ll treat you like one.
When negotiations start in person, Mexico will not be expecting a fantastic outcome. They will walk in with realistic expectations, and Trump will already have won.
The media is made up of young children who want the outcome now. “I want it now! Waaaaaa!” Under Trump they will learn to wait as they are educated in the art of the deal.
The 20% tariff is a scare tactic to make what he’s going to do seem not as bad - put a 5% tax on remittances to Mexico.
Technically, it has. Mexico (and the press) just don’t know it, yet.
Rule 1 is to make outrageous demands that set the bar HIGH. You can only go lower from there. No way is Trump is gonna lowball this thing.
It's literally not even 24 hours later.
In other news Ryan Lizza is still mad that he couldn't park on his new concrete driveway immediately after they poured.
His car is still at the dealer having concrete cleaned out of the drive train, brake calipers and engine compartment.
Obviously, the writer of this story isn’t a trained negotiator. He or she (not sure what a Jeva is) should probably find something that they know about to use as a subject for its writing.
It's like Trump is pointing out to Mexico how weak of a position they hold. Just be glad he's on our side! The last guy seemed to give everything away!
I read somewhere that Nieto was in trouble with his constituency for looking soft.
The person postulated that President Trump might have set up this scenario to allow the Mexican leader to stand up to the US for domestic political reasons. If so, he’s now in Trump’s debt.
That would be an interesting development.
Trump Will get Blood out of This
Turnip Piniatta!
Jim, it’s as if all my decades of frustration with the namby-pamby attitudes of so-called GOP “leaders” are finally being purged - certainly during the campaign cycle but even more so with this amazing first week. God bless President DJT.
He does more in an hour than others do in a month.
“The discussions with Mexico just started, for Pete’s sake.”
The author of this article doesn’t know squat about hardball negotiations. Trump came out strong and laid down his main objective. The other party is free to walk off the used car lot, but will probably be back. We have just experienced 8 years of weak and pliable negotiating by the Obama administration. “Just tell me what you want and you can have it.” It will be fun to watch as the Trump team shows strength on our behalf, as he promised during the campaign.
The writer is obviously a moron. Do not look up her photo...it will make your eyes hurt.
Leave it to moronic leftwing correspondents to make judgement calls before the dealing is done.
Trump has read The Prince and The Art of War, this tool obviously has not.
So, The New Yorker- which was WRONG on everything during the election- is now right on this?
OK
Walking away is a big part of negotiations as Trump has said himself many times. I think that refusing to participate will only make it more expensive for Mexico.
#2, You’ve got to remember their idea of winning was Obama apologizing, Dropping trow and bending over. Then announcing to the world what a great deal we got before he even pulled up his britches.
These clowns have no idea what negotiations are. They were fooled by Nero into believing it meant capitulation and humiliation.
I don’t know if Jena is male or female but I do know that Jeva is painfully stupid
