Really...? You have to ask?
It makes it look to the stupid, uninformed US voter that he actually GOT something from the "deal".
In reality, he got jack squat.
I've NEVER seen a "negotiation" where one side got EVERYTHING, and the other side claims some sort of "victory".
It's like losing all of your money in Vegas, and then bragging about what a great hotel you stayed at.
