Imagine if he uses verbal tactics to force people's hand in negotiating. Almost like he's a pro at that. Dumbasses.


Haha. The dumbasses are the ones that think there’s some 3D chess master plan going on.

He fooled all you LIBTARDS good! The 20% fee was never real, it was just a brilliant negotiation tactic. And it worked to perfection because TRUMP got what he wanted: an even better deal and crying libtards!

And guess what, if the investments don't pan out, he didn't want those either! Another decoy! You'll never know what the real plan is because TRUMP is the only one in charge! What he says, goes!

It's ridiculous how many people can't see how throwing out a high proposal and then agreeing to something less is a negotiation tactic.

It's even more ridiculous how many conservatives don't see investment in our country as something to be glad about.

The same people bitching about the 20% are also complaining about Trump not doing it. It never fails.

Notice how the Trump administration has not taken the time to stop and explain all of that to those types that you mentioned, in an effort to quell some or ideally all of that “unrest.” There have even been questions bubble up as to why. Well I’m quite certain that their reasoning is or would be that those types wouldn’t get it anyway. Some of them knowingly refuse to “get it,” aka understand it, while others simply aren’t capable. It would result in a total waste of time and effort that would be better directed elsewhere.

So why do you all get upset when we say his extreme measure mean nothing and are full of shite?


I’n not upset at all. I sat through four years of Biden.

You’re the emotional one. Shocker.

Maybe he should try grabbing ‘em by the Pu$$y?

He’s done a lot of crazy shite so far in this boondoggle, but he hasn’t gone with the “Pu$$y Grab” yet.

It’s one of his classic signature moves, so why the f@#k not break it out and give it a whirl?

What’s ridiculous is the suckers who think this is some kind of master negotiation tactic. Iran and everyone else knows he’s full of shite and it’s why he keeps getting clowned on the world stage

Plaintiff attorney makes initial policy limits demand but ends up settling for less. Absolutely brilliant and unique negotiating tactic.

How do you know those things to be true, and so confidently at that, so as to make such definitive conclusions as such? I figure it would be quite the trick to have none of the most relevant information necessary to produce actual informed and fully considered conclusions, yet have done so throughout the entire life of this thing. And I don’t intend any of that for you exclusively. IMO it would apply to a good bit larger cross section of all persuasions and views.

Iran's neighbors don't like Iran very much.

Their gulf neighbors don’t, at least. Pakistan is perfectly fine with Iran being a pariah state. It keeps the world’s attention off the fact that Pakistan is a semi-failed state with nuclear weapons that’s run by whichever military clique has the most power out of 250 million Muslims.
