A negotiator would have walked away with something...Trump got nothing.... negotiator fail...
I'm not sure how this is a win for Trump...unless getting his name in the news cycle for another 24 hours is considered a win with some very potential negative consequences...
A negotiator would walk away with what he wanted. If what he wanted was not to be there, he would have made the terms so outrageous that no one would comply.
Which is exactly what Trump did.
In addition to his name in the news cycle, he got an APOLOGY, as well as $5+M for the veterans.
This was a win for Trump because the VETS win. Instead of nothing, the Vets get six million through Trump’s initiative.
What did those on stage come away with? Nothing! What did Fox come away with? Lost millions of dollars. They are writing credit slips to their advertisers for sure.
