They don’t get Trump.

He had said for years to negotiate you must sometimes walk away for a time. That’s what this is. If you don’t get the cuts you want you shrug and say, “oh well, we’ll default then. Gonna have to do it eventually anyway.” Then the other side gets more reasonable.

Classic walk away negotiating strategy.

Great point. If the other side doesn’t believe you are willing to walk away from a deal you have zero leverage.

Trump’s skills as a master negotiator are the most important thing that made him a great president.

Hopefully it works. I at least have want the corona funding returned. I mean that should be easy to negotiate. The VA medical cuts are shameful and hopefully the democrats use that as a bargain tool to keep them.

You are correct, Trump has mentioned this strategy often.

Classic walk away negotiating strategy.

The GOP senators are too dumb to understand this, though.
