Yep, that is how he operates exactly. The author is also correct about the outcome if a trade war does break out. Can you say EU losers,? I knew that you could. 8>)
That’s an old sales ploy. I’ve used it. My wife was a Master at it. The customer would be ready to sign the contract and she would pull it back and say “Why don’t you go to lunch and think about it.”. The customer would play tug of war with the contract.
Trump is an uber-alpha. He understands the dynamics of human behavior on an intellectual & intuitive level.
He’s got just enough vicious in him to emasculate the competition which makes him difficult to deal with.
He stripped whatever manhood Jeb Bush had right off his sorry azz in public. It was magnificent. The Bush family deserved that beatdown.
“Crack that whip”
Yep, and that Merkel may be out of office next week is part of the Trump effect.
After eight years of Obamanics(sluggish economy)only now are liberals worried about a downturn and the effects on th e working man.
Trump figures NOW is the perfect time to declare sanctions.
Why, you ask?
Because businesses are seeing the effect of the generous Trump tax cuts and after the foolishness of previous presidents, will facter in the costs of the retaliatory sanctions that will surly come and still come out ahead.
How will the high taxed counties of Canada, Western Europe and China react? Cut their taxes. Ha! They are so far down that road that it is inconceivable to their socialist black hearts.
Their economies will further tank while ours will only slow enough to ensure inflation won’t spook the Feds into upping rates.
Brillant!! Brillant!!
It’s a international game of chicken!
This entirely misses the point. He starts by picking something that it turns out most voters around the world want - you know, like stopping unfettered illegal immigration. And he makes it known that's what he stands for. Then when their leadership resists, their voters start getting angry - wait a minute, we agree with Trump, not you you worthless Eurotwit.
Or trade - I doubt most Canadians think they profit much from transhiping and relabeling Chinese stuff. I suspect that they like we want genuine productive jobs.
Thanks to Dead for posting this.
Yes, but where are the concentration camps, Leni Riefenstahl documentaries, sieg heil salutes, etc. that the media were promising us? He hasn’t even outlawed the Democratic Party.
Clearly, the media has some ‘splaining to do.

Yep - if only our own concern trolls could see with the same clarity...
