You might understand Trump a bit better if you read it (if that’s a goal). I’ve admired the depth of your posts and I’m sure you’ll find it a very quick, easy read.

Someone throws a virtual debate on the table as an offer, in public, without discussing it with him.
Trump refuses.
Are they negotiating? What do you think the next step will be?

It is not a negotiation unless Trump makes a counter-offer.
