ya'll all missed it. red blooded American lads will refer to the lower hair patch on a young lady as a taco. Democrates using that term are blantenly misogynistic.

The man wrote a book about how he does deals and he spells it out clearly so you can do it to. You've lived for years now watching him do this, over and over again. He starts out with an outrageous demand, you people menstruate in unison, and then the negotiation begins. He has no qualms about saying crazy shite because that will make you scared he's crazy. And then he accepts something that was above what he was negotiating for in the first place, praises the opponents as tough negotiators, and walks away with what he wanted and then some.

Great, what has he done to stop it? Killing one NGO is not enough... This term has been a failure. His first was awesome. He got distracted and started with this intervention crap and lost focus on what is important. The homeland. Reduce cost, create oppurtunity.
You would have to ask all the Congressmen who refused to remove the waste from the budget and reupped.
According to the new acting AG, there are 8000 fraud cases open or under investigation. So something is being done. Certainly more than the wimps who came before him...

I gave specific example where he tackled issues that nobody else has the guts to take on.
Do you need more?

The amount of red on the IRGC is awesome. IRGC was formed in large to protect the regime. Can't even protect themselves.

Because people have not seen his version of deal making in quite some time.
Be staunch on verbalising that you want everything. That is your starting point. When the deal meets at what you really want, make it. Makes it seem like he is chickening out.
Only looks that way after decades of our deal makers offering what we actually want and then falling short of it.

It's really a way for Dems to position themselves on both sides of an argument so they can say " I told you so" based on either outcome. Either Trump is hitler and destroys Iran or he chickens out.
Ignore it, it's meant to get under your skin.
Oooorrr, he could stop making these bold claims and promises that he has no intention of acting on.

Oooorrr, you dudes could pay attention and understand half of his statements are bargaining chips. Yeah, he doesn't follow through on half of his threats, but he's unpredictable and you don't know which half he is serious about.
He always goes after way more than he knows he can get, then backs up and settles like clockwork.
I'm not sure who he fools more, you guys or the ones he's bargaining with.

This isn't a boardroom full of suits looking at spreadsheets. We are talking about crazy ppl with missiles that don't mind blowing stuff up.
I guess it's ok to be big and bold when you know other people have to cash the check your mouth writes.

Brainless raging TDS hatred.

I mean I suppose you could try to bribe them like Obama did and give them more weapon building money.
Or you can tell them you will bitch slap them again if they don't act right. Some people don't listen to reason, and the occasional bitch slap is necessary.

It appears the simple-minded fall for Trumps threats easily. Which is why it's so effective.

China dared him on the tariff- he backed down. He is more sensitive to market reactions than other Presidents. He threatens, gins up outrage and then when Wall Street reacts negatively, he backs down.
What he did this last week was him coming in second in a game of Chicken.....he blinked and we lost a lot of prestige. Russia laughed, Iran laughed, the ChiComs smuggle smiled. Our Mid East and Far East allies are pissed.
Nigerians are smiling

Over promises and under delivers.
People typically love that.

The “TACO” acronym comes from wall Street and was not really derogatory. Instead, it was an assurance Wall Streeters would give to each other when Trump would propose something, such as sweeping tariffs, that were considered bad for business, ie, don’t worry, Trump Always Chickens Out. Of you wanted to phrase more neutrally, “Trump takes maximalist positions and then ultimately settles for much less.”
