Arabs are put off by the bluster and arrogance of New Yorkers. They prefer the more laid back demeanor of Southerners.
I can believe that the Donald was screwed to the wall by both mid easterners and Chinese who just plain out traded him.When considering art of the deal, in comparison with those boys The Donald is out of his league.
If Trump took a beating from the Arabs and/or the Chinese, that’s all the more reason to give him a position in the government, IMHO.
I’d way prefer someone like Trump, ego and all, who has won and lost some big deals over the timid, politically correct folks negotiating for us now.
The problem with The Donald is that he’s dealing with people with Eastern sensibilities. With people from the East, they smile, bide their time, and if necessary, endure until they get to their goal. The Chinese might smile benignly as Obama and Trump bluster all the time, but the Chinese are more ruthless and subtle. Courtesy and a laid back demeanor is not a sign of ignorance and stupidity. Easterners prefer to let their enemies make mistakes, draw them in, then strike.
They work in the dark and are a behind the scenes people. Not flashy showmanship.
