President Trump’s art of the deal is actually working

Thousands of brave lives and billions of pounds have been lost since prime minister Tony Blair, president George W Bush and their followers thought the best way to make the world a better place was to get rid of tyrants by military force. To everyone’s cost we now know that was wrong.

Instead, in an off-the-cuff remark, US President Donald Trump said this week that North Korea could swap its missile launch bases for beachside condominiums – what we’d call luxury apartments.

It revealed one of the strongest motives behind the North Korean tyrant’s U-turn on nuclear weaponry.

Looking across his borders at China and South Korea he can see that his best prospect for security is to make his people prosperous and not starve them to death.

From North Africa to North Korea there are a lot of lovely beaches and maybe Trump’s statement has an element of truth to it.

The best strategy for world peace is not costly regime change but for tyrants to spread the wealth around and give their people jobs and hope.

The Singapore peace deal nearly didn’t happen because an American adviser compared the denuclearisation of North Korea to Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi giving up his nuclear weapons.

Big mistake because the Western-enforced regime change in Libya has left this oilrich country a basket case of warring factions and ruthless people traffickers....

If anyone can’t see/understand what Trump is doing has to be blind or stupid, perhaps both. No doubt they would be liberals.

a big part of Trump's success in making big deals, is that he gets a solid understanding of what motivates the other side, so he can structure a deal that they want.

I was taught that principle of negotiation in grad school. It's also one of the fundamentals of marketing, at which he is a prime mover.
