While there are some similarities in terms of negotiations, Trump doesn’t have it quite figured out that he can’t summarily fire the people he doesn’t like working with. He thinks he can simply glad-hand a hardball player like Putin and all will be well. The world doesn’t work that way. This isn’t “Celebrity Apprentice.”
And on the home front, as for deporting the 20 million illegals bedded down in this country, while their deportation is a nice hope, Trump has never detailed how he thinks he’s going to get that through a 60-vote passage in a Senate that very likely is going to be 51-49 either way.
You know what? I get very tired of listening to all the defeatism come out before someone can even try. There used to be an old saying: A European would say, “It is impossible, it can’t be done,”
An American would say, “Why not try. It just might work!”
In the Second World War it was a major difference between Americans and English. The American ingenuity saved the day on more than one occasion.”Sure, I’ll give it a try!”
We put a man on the moon first even though we got in the race very late. It is called the American Way. Trump has that positive attitude and I’ll guarantee it’s had a lot to do with his success.
Trump is smart enough to KNOW how to negotiate with different people in different ways. Just like Reagan beat the overcoat wearing Gorbachev when he welcomed him in snow cold weather in just a plain suit. Psychological warfare takes place all the times in negotiations. Trump has a track record in negotiations. None of the other candidates has any experience in the matter. That overstuffed hardball pl,ayer has been playing with a marshmallow in Obama. He will not have the same success with Trump, because Trump will hand him his comeuppance, I have no doubt about that!
As far as the deportation, Obama’s actions were and are illegal as the courts will soon decide. The laws on the books already call for deportations of illegals. Under Trump they will become illegal aliens, not undocumented immigrants.
‘He thinks he can simply glad-hand a hardball player like Putin and all will be well.’
That’s not what he said. You have more credibility if you report Trump’s words honestly.
