I’ll say it again. Trump operates at levels above what we are used to. He says he will make deals with Pelosi and democrats and people go “he’s going to flip to democrat”. No, Trump will get them to do what he wants them to do. That is called leadership - we’ve been without it for so long in DC we don’t remember what it is. Trump has been getting people to do what he wants them to do his entire life, his successful business is clear proof of that.
Thinking “deals” means status-quo compromising is very shallow analysis.
Thinking all “tariffs” means is the cost of our goods will go up is very shallow analysis. Tariffs are a negotiating tool - against currency manipulation and unfair trade imbalance. Tariffs are no necessarily the end result - they are a tool to get an end result. This is what I mean by Trump thinking and operating levels above what we are used to.
This run in with Fox is a demonstration of leadership, unpredictability, intuition, and independence - all leadership qualities.
“No, Trump will get them to do what he wants them to do. “
Which is what? I doubt he even knows where he stands on issues. So you need to look at his history, which shows he supports unions, democrats, and the liberal agenda.
??? We seen an example of Trump showing his negotiation skills with FNC over getting Kelly kicked off the debate.
1) FNC tells him to pound sand
2) Trump runs away and skips the debate, Kelly is still a moderator.
Same trump formula with tariffs:
1) China tells him to pound sand
2) Trump raises taxes (tariffs) on the stuff we buy.
