The Snowflake that wrote this is 2 years out of school. She attended 3 different colleges to graduate.

She has zero experience and probably had daddy negotiate her apartment lease.

This is the left...

We have nothing to gain from that meeting with Mexico. They have everything to gain. Who loses when the meeting is canceled? Us? Hardly.

In the meantime, Mexico is going back to chasing down rats for dinner. Their currency is collapsing.

Who’s the worse player, the one who bluffed or the one who called him on it? always negotiate from a position of strength.

I suppose Ryan considers the current negotiating situation, with the USA hobbled, with both arms tied behind its back, negotiating against its self interests, and for leftist globalism to be “fair”.

If an open border, drug cartels, illegal immigration, money and jobs sent to Mexico are fair, then I’m okay with President Trump pulling some “unfair” moves.

Joint Statement on U.S. - Mexico Relations

The United States President Donald J. Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto spoke by phone this morning for an hour. The call was mutually arranged by their teams.

The two had a productive and constructive call regarding the bilateral relationship between the two countries, the current trade deficit the United States has with Mexico, the importance of the friendship between the two nations, and the need for the two nations to work together to stop drug cartels, drug trafficking and illegal guns and arms sales.

With respect to payment for the border wall, both presidents recognize their clear and very public differences of positions on this issue but have agreed to work these differences out as part of a comprehensive discussion on all aspects of the bilateral relationship.

Both presidents have instructed their teams to continue the dialogue to strengthen this important strategic and economic relationship in a constructive way.

The liberals don't know how to negotiate. Trump is not negotiating yet.

Look at what Obama and Kerry did with Iran. They kept telling the Iranians they could have anything they wanted, just as long as they signed a deal. Any deal. That's not negotiating. That's giving away the store to get Obama and Kerry their "legacy" deal not a nuclear deal.

Look at what Clinton and Albright did with North Korea. Took it on a handshake with North Korea that they were telling the truth about not developing a nuclear weapon. They put no verification process in place to keep them honest. The North Koreans were laughing out loud at how stupid these Americans were.

This writer (big Lefty) knows nothing about the negotiating process. He thinks the negotiations are over and Trump lost. Trump is just setting the table and staking out the territories for negotiations yet to come.

God, I am so thankful Trump won in November.

Let me explain it for the leftard. Trump said he is building the wall. Congress already passed the legislation to build the wall. Trump just ordered the wall built. Congress is allocating the funds. So dear Mexico, the US has to build a wall because of your actions. How are you going to pay for it ? That is all that needs to be negotiated.

Negotiations always begin with a position of power and demanding more than you can get so you look magnanimous taking a little less in the final contract but getting what the goal you really needed was.

The only one who really is in trouble at the moment is Mexico. They let their macho culture put one mans ego over the country.

Why negotiate with those unwilling to do so? Remember, compromising with bad policy is like adding sewage to your drinking water. And we can simply impose our will.
