He was able to maul other NYC developers with his flamboyant ego and the Mafia tactics taught to him by his mentor, Roy Cohn.Every deal Trump makes is a bad deal because he’s a bad negotiator. I worked in real estate law with lawyers who negotiated multi-million dollar deals.
Trump brags that he just walks in, “reads” the room and goes with his gut instincts which are pretty good “because he’s rich”. The best negotiator I ever worked for knew more about the people he was negotiating with than their own lawyers.
Trump will also simply tear up any deal he signs when it fails. See his NAFTA rewrite, the USMCA deal, which increased your trade deficits and which Trump tore up on his return to office.
Trump negotiated with Kim. Kim got nuclear weapons and Trump got a box of bone fragments from the Korean War.
That doesn't translate to the world stage. It makes him, and America, look like clowns.
