How to negotiate like Donald Trump
It's always the same thing. In both politics and business. And the media always falls for it.
Declaim that there is an easy solution to any problem, it's just that the people in charge are too stupid and/or too corrupt to make the simple deal that will fix the issue.
Make a fairly banal deal that actually changes almost nothing but that he can claim is a miracle cure.
Break the deal at the last second, usually making outrageous and unacceptable demands that both won't work but that create chaos he thinks he can exploit for benefit.
Renegotiate the deal, usually making minor changes he can claim as big wins. *Perhaps* blow it up again; *perhaps* agree for realsies.
Repeat on loop, thereby ensuring that all the focus is on him and his personality and not the emptiness of his deal-making or the failures of his actual policies and programs.
Watch for the next 4 years. It's going to be just this way. Same as it ever was.

Do remember: if Democrats don’t vote for a Republican plan Democrats weren’t consulted about, and 38 Republicans didn’t vote for, it’s the Democrats’ fault the plan failed.
It’s simple when you don’t think about it.
