But it didn't take a genius to come up with this negotiating strategy. A child could have figured this out. What Trump brings is the will to actually do it.
What I have seen so far is that Trump is operating government as if it were a business and making decisions as a businessman would, not a politician.
I assume he is approaching negotiations as a businessman would, and not as a politician.
All in all, I think that is a very good thing, especially when you see where politicians have taken us.
