It’s Trump’s negotiating strategy: Big ask with the intention of getting something significant, but considerably less. I prefer Cruz, but this is just the GOPe enablers trying to help Jebbie and Marco.
The underlying assumption (fact) being the gnat like attention span of the LIV's.
“It’s Trump’s negotiating strategy.”
This seems to be the go to talking point of every flip-flop Trump has ever made.
Considering that Trump is not presently negotiating, but rather campaigning, it does not hold water.
So in other words Trump has said, on network TV, "I'm going to go to China and say I'm going to put a 45% tariff on imports from them if they don't re-do trade agreements. But I really have no intention of doing it." Great negotiating. Really savvy.
