I am not an expert on negotiating, but I have read a few books by professional negotiators. It’s exactly as you say, they all say the exact opposite of what Trump does.
It's laughable that many Americans think hes some kind of deal maker. Ask his contractors how he negotiated. He has no concept that negotiation should be a win win...find out what the other guy needs & try to help.. D thinks it's all zero sum and he has to dominate/humiliate the other party. Sick.
Yeah my CRO said on a companywide call a few weeks ago that tariffs shouldn’t be a concern for our company and that Donald is a “negotiator” and he expects this to be used a leverage. I went on mute and off camera and laughed my ass off. Astounding someone in such a high level position can’t even comprehend how reckless this has all been.
... which proves the value of negotiating, diplomacy, honoring treaties and commitments, and forming lasting alliances. China is putting him in his place and he has earned every public humiliation whether he admits it or not. We know the truth and we will not forget who ran from it.
agreed! the oxymoron is this jack ass is suppose to be representing us! he lost the notion he works for us! how can these poor helpless cabinet members give him such sickening praise? I'm betting big time not one of us here would do that! I know me not a chance in hell would I put this buffoon over my oath no blooming way!!
I watched most of the cabinet nomination hearings; every single one of them pledged fealty to Numbnuts, not the Constitution. It's why they were picked: for loyalty, certainly not competence or ethics.
We need a new party that begins with the letter R as many simply look for the R and pull the lever. I suggest the “Right Party” meaning “correct” as it will confuse the hell out of the “right wing” and will eliminate his use of “radical left lunatics.”
Sorry, he's so stupid, he'd think you were talking about a vaccination against a form of VD and would know he had been vaccinated and didn't need to know any more.
He came into the room looking very defeated and said, "I don't like the Republican Party anymore." To which I responded with zeal, "Welcome to the Democratic Party!!!"
You need to do your part with the resistance..........Anti-Nazi partisans lived in the forests fighting the fascist invaiders........your not there.........yet.
exactly! look at the damage the Nazi Elon did!! he said he saved 150 billion but the actual cost was more!! Elon eliminated legal actions against himself farm our Data also? of his almost mile long Texas Data Central? he wasn't in it for us he was in it for himself! the two hat ugly fool!! look at the damage he did! to gut it so it might be privatised to enrich other and himself billionaires?? stay tuned!!
Trump controls the military, congress and he’s working on the Judicial branch—then we’re done… nobody to execute the WILL OF THE PEOPLE (plus he’s still got how many naïve followers?)
Right wingers are not the only ones with guns. In fact, another civil war would not surprise me, especially if the military splits as it did after the attack on Ft. Sumter.
it's why there should've been NO transfer of power to that quisling traitorous terroristic 34-convicted criminal, felon and close to up to 60 additional more counts of even worse crimes against America and the world indicted monster!!
Not when the ICE Gestapo are actively arresting, abducting and kidnapping and disappearing University students and staff for protesting or any other flimsy excuse they can find.
yep that is what we are all doing right now! I've had one threatening phone call so far just because of my opinion.! I posted the threatening persons phone number that was used!!
Do a Google search for "I Hate Trump" bumper sticker........I now they are out their.........
Have seen them............My "No 51st State" poster arrived a few weeks ago........already photocopy prints are going up in halls on doors and people want more copies made.
Maybe you're right about a bumper sticker putting a target on you, but why is the other side has no fear about putting a trump sticker on their vehicle 🤔
I don't put any bumper stickers on my car because I don't want to encourage road rage from anyone, let alone a neighbor. A friend of mine once stopped at a gas station with a KQED bumper sticker on her car and was verbally assaulted by another man because of THAT. I figure not every person can handle the truth or even an opinion, especially these days. Pick your battles with care.
I live in what was a very Trumpy neighborhood, but you don't see the flags any longer. This is also an air force town. I've an upside down flag on my car, and nobody has said or done anything when I'm driving around. However, I live in L.A. County where Trump is not well received by the majority.
it's why I'm saying with a sad but true heart that USA is already divided by the Counties, Municipalities, Townships, Congressional/Electoral Districts. The Blue Counties and all these other administrative divisions I mentioned are the only remnants of USA, most of everything red is magatRumputinland. Which means that Democrats should've NEVER EVER ALLOWED tRumputin&his INTO WASHINGTON DC BECAUSE WASHINGTON DC IS BLUE!!
Well, that's encouraging! No more flags for the Commander in Cheat? Cheers!
The upside flag is pretty safe if no one knows when you put it on your car; you could be with Alito's horrid wife or resisting the true threat in the WH now.
Eff off. I'll be 70 years old this year, walked a couple of picket lines in my working life, protested and marched more than you probably ever have, and I don"t need you or anyone else's snide comments, especially from a man!
I don’t mean your neighbors—I mean making your identity easy for trump’s enemies’ list. I’m afraid it’s going to come down to that if he’s not stopped.
Because his supporters are unpredictable, potentially-dangerous SERVANTS (look at Jan 6th) and FOLLOW the Word of Trump. Some of them are even taking trump for Pope seriously!

"seems"? he does 'cause his master terrorist putin of russia tasked him with literal destruction of America and Modern West and tRump obeys. I know it sounds simplistic but it is simple as that.
There is nothing human about the Dumpster! He is an animalistic, psychopathic, moron that has been like this his entire life!! How can anyone think he does great negotiations? He is a convicted felon, sex offender, liar, cheat and has gone bankrupt at least 4 times because of his stupidity!
Anyone who can bankrupt a casino -- A CASINO CASH COW -- doesn't know the first thing about negotiating. Or running a business. But what we have to look at is how he's looting and conning and grifting. Follow the money. #resistance #MeidasMighty
Now the US is paying for his golf games...where he's addicted to cheating. Those are the only real balls he has...little white balls. He's a classic bully and he's met his match with China and dragged us along. Trumps friend Steve Wynn must wonder about how he could bankrupt more than one casino. That is the 'tell' concerning his business acumen.
He's evil. He's consistent. He dishonored his wives, bamboozled investors, betrayed friends, and betrayed others who believed in him and trusted him. He is corrupt, a lawbreaker, a liar, an adulterer, a rapist, a thief and an all around pervert aka "The devil's manservant."
Forget? Hardly! He’s also buddy buddy with that Israeli creep Bibi Netanyahu. Two crooks who care nothing for the people who put them in office. Netanyau is as corrupt as is Dumpty.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when our Prime Minister sits down with Trump on Tuesday. I almost feel sorry for Trump (sorry/not sorry). After all, he’s playing with broken toys while Mark Carney will be talking rocket science.
No matter how much Carney gains, you can be sure our Commander in Cheat will emerge declaring victory. It's his well-worn, predictable move and anyone with an alert brain knows he's 100% BS. I'm rooting for Canada against my own country because it's under the control of a certified fascist idiot. Every win for him is a loss for the world and our country.
Mark Carney won’t be there to negotiate Canada’s rights or freedoms. We hold all the cards. He’ll be there to reiterate what he’s already said. Nothing Trump says publicly afterwards is of any concern to us and can’t be believed by any but the die-hards in his diminishing MAGA base in the US.
The problem is that this worked for him in NYC as long as he was dealing with people who had less power, or who he perceived had less power, than he did. People who feel they have no other option or who are inexperienced will fall for his scare tactics. This - bullying, acting like the craziest person in the room - worked for him briefly during his first term, but it stopped working by 2018, certainly by the time in 2019 of the "perfect" phone call with Zelenskyy. Trump, being both deranged and demented, is not capable of figuring that his old tactics don't work any longer.
Nothing he did in NY worked for him which is why everyone that did work for him was never paid, he lost businesses because he didn’t know how to run them and went bankrupt at least 4 times. His TV show “The Apprentice” worked for a few years, but viewers stopped watching it because they despised him and all of his lies!
Really? The Apprentice lasted 22 seasons!! I think that phony show was a major reason he was elected. I just heard a woman supporter say she was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on the tariffs because he was such a good businessman and he didn't need the money!!! Heaven help us all. The ignorance burns.
I efffin' never ever watched the apprentice-shit. it was enough for me to fleetingly lay my eyes on those cable or dish TV trailer clips commercials of that freakshow to see that that was freakier than even jerry springer's. it horrified me to learn that any American actually watched that shit with any seriousness...
We’re going to win this war on democracy simply because of incompetence on the other side. There is infighting everywhere and no two of them have the same goals. Even the Republicans in Congress are having difficulty defending the chaos that surrounds everything they’re doing.
The fart of the deal
Yes, Trump stinks.
Figuratively and literally.
Funny one! I like it!
I am not an expert on negotiating, but I have read a few books by professional negotiators. It’s exactly as you say, they all say the exact opposite of what Trump does.
What makes anyone think Trump is even TRYING to negotiate?
Trump is all about humiliation and domination.
It's laughable that many Americans think hes some kind of deal maker. Ask his contractors how he negotiated. He has no concept that negotiation should be a win win...find out what the other guy needs & try to help.. D thinks it's all zero sum and he has to dominate/humiliate the other party. Sick.
Let's never forget that Mark Burnett and the showrunners for The Apprentice helped to create that image of Trump.
Yep. Weren’t they subpoenaed and didn’t comply??
And ineffective.
Yeah my CRO said on a companywide call a few weeks ago that tariffs shouldn’t be a concern for our company and that Donald is a “negotiator” and he expects this to be used a leverage. I went on mute and off camera and laughed my ass off. Astounding someone in such a high level position can’t even comprehend how reckless this has all been.

I'm betting big time not one of us here would do that! I know me not a chance in hell would I put this buffoon over my oath no blooming way!!
He never *had* the notion he words for us. Ever.
I watched most of the cabinet nomination hearings; every single one of them pledged fealty to Numbnuts, not the Constitution. It's why they were picked: for loyalty, certainly not competence or ethics.
Humiliating his enemies in the point. And everyone is his enemy.
including us! he's suppose to be representing us!!
Because the MORON doesn’t have a clue on what he’s been doing mostly all his life.
But none has the Balls to do anything about it 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Exactly and they're all going to end up like Rudy Giuliani. Can't wait to see it.
YES! I am SO looking forward to that day too!
We need a new party that begins with the letter R as many simply look for the R and pull the lever. I suggest the “Right Party” meaning “correct” as it will confuse the hell out of the “right wing” and will eliminate his use of “radical left lunatics.”
Dip shits show
Where can you get a I hate trump bumper sticker and or a flag
I want one too. I have a little fuck trump sticker on my dresser. Republican husband keeps taking it down and I keep putting it back up
Lysistrata by Aristophanes therapy may convert him.
Sorry, he's so stupid, he'd think you were talking about a vaccination against a form of VD and would know he had been vaccinated and didn't need to know any more.
I was thinking that a long time ago. (Imagine reading this in Lit class when the teacher is a nun. Yes, really.)
My husband switched to the Democrats BECAUSE of trump!
He came into the room looking very defeated and said, "I don't like the Republican Party anymore." To which I responded with zeal, "Welcome to the Democratic Party!!!"
Make sure he's genuine and honest!! Make sure he's not lying to you!!

This is still a free country with free speech
Not for all - not nearly...
Not for long—and who’s going to protect us?
We the People. Us, we’uns. Organize, protest, harangue your congress people. Resist.
You need to do your part with the resistance..........Anti-Nazi partisans lived in the forests fighting the fascist invaiders........your not there.........yet.
exactly! look at the damage the Nazi Elon did!! he said he saved 150 billion but the actual cost was more!! Elon eliminated legal actions against himself farm our Data also? of his almost mile long Texas Data Central? he wasn't in it for us he was in it for himself! the two hat ugly fool!! look at the damage he did! to gut it so it might be privatised to enrich other and himself billionaires?? stay tuned!!

Right wingers are not the only ones with guns. In fact, another civil war would not surprise me, especially if the military splits as it did after the attack on Ft. Sumter.
he sure is trying protest protest protest!! he wants to disengage NPR? why? because they offer free press
it's why there should've been NO transfer of power to that quisling traitorous terroristic 34-convicted criminal, felon and close to up to 60 additional more counts of even worse crimes against America and the world indicted monster!!
you are right Linda the only slim chance is exactly what we all our doing right now! including protest or we will wish we had!!
It is?
not so much anymore and losing what remains fast
Not when the ICE Gestapo are actively arresting, abducting and kidnapping and disappearing University students and staff for protesting or any other flimsy excuse they can find.
yep that is what we are all doing right now! I've had one threatening phone call so far just because of my opinion.! I posted the threatening persons phone number that was used!!

Be careful—that will be putting a target on your back.
Maybe you're right about a bumper sticker putting a target on you, but why is the other side has no fear about putting a trump sticker on their vehicle 🤔
You know your neighborhood best.
The fascists known that Dem supporters don't condone violence. they have the advantage cause they would have no compulsion over killing.
Self defense against fascists and Nazis is what will be needed.
I don't put any bumper stickers on my car because I don't want to encourage road rage from anyone, let alone a neighbor.

Exactly most democrats are law abiding citizens. The MAGA red hat TDS are capable of anything after jan 6th.
I don’t mean your neighbors—I mean making your identity easy for trump’s enemies’ list. I’m afraid it’s going to come down to that if he’s not stopped.
Because his supporters are unpredictable, potentially-dangerous SERVANTS (look at Jan 6th) and FOLLOW the Word of Trump. Some of them are even taking trump for Pope seriously!
That's what they want ... to be afraid. I refuse to let them intimidate me.
There’s safety in numbers 👍
Courage is contagious.

you don't want to drive around with that in the south, especially not in rural areas.
Check out Etsy and happy shopping! 😁
Definitely Amazon I got a fuck you Trump flag and hung it up on no Kings day and I got stickers
Check Amazon?
Try to avoid Amazon.
Maybe Zazzle or Etsy.

Extremely easy.
He seems to just do everything about this country as a distraction from his heist operations, with no plan to win anything in the name of the USA.
"seems"? he does 'cause his master terrorist putin of russia tasked him with literal destruction of America and Modern West and tRump obeys. I know it sounds simplistic but it is simple as that.
Trump's negotiating skills in
are sledgehammer, bullying and cheating. Most hateful human being on earth.
There is nothing human about the Dumpster! He is an animalistic, psychopathic, moron that has been like this his entire life!! How can anyone think he does great negotiations? He is a convicted felon, sex offender, liar, cheat and has gone bankrupt at least 4 times because of his stupidity!
He makes great deals!! As long as the goal is to go bankrupt.
Anyone who can bankrupt a casino -- A CASINO CASH COW -- doesn't know the first thing about negotiating. Or running a business. But what we have to look at is how he's looting and conning and grifting. Follow the money. #resistance #MeidasMighty

He broke every tenet
He breaks EVERY tenet/more/code of conduct/norm. He’ has a deeply unhealthy psyche and deeply unhealthy body.
Not unhealthy enough. Mother nature needs to hurry up already
I know right?? Everyday I say "Karma, what are you waiting for??" 😂
He's evil. He's consistent. He dishonored his wives, bamboozled investors, betrayed friends, and betrayed others who believed in him and trusted him. He is corrupt, a lawbreaker, a liar, an adulterer, a rapist, a thief and an all around pervert aka "The devil's manservant."
Don't forget he's putins best buddy. The blood thirsty dictator, who holds his people hostage and who is responsible for millions of deaths.
Forget? Hardly! He’s also buddy buddy with that Israeli creep Bibi Netanyahu. Two crooks who care nothing for the people who put them in office. Netanyau is as corrupt as is Dumpty.
Bingo, again!! that alone tells you everything you need to know about him&his.
Well as the Orange Marmalade always says, you can't spell the word negotiate without 'ego'.
Please, don't disparage marmalade!
