I’m not so sure he is really all that good at the art of the deal. Generally it’s a demand followed by threats of some sort. “Agree to this, or we will bomb you or overthrow you”.
That has been the case in Iran, Gaza, Russia/Ukraine, Venezuela, Greenland by any means, with a deal or by force etc.
I haven’t seen any deal making skills on display with Congress that did absolutely nothing this year, and shows no signs of doing anything yet.
His deal making is basically mafia style, “nice business you have here, it’d be a shame if something happened to it”.
But it’s rare you see any meeting of the minds and any true deal. He can’t even make a deal with the leadership and donors of his own party.
I agree.
