At a guess, his plan is just to negotiate like everybody else does, i.e. take all you can, give nothing back.
"The rising tide that lifts all boats," is a nice soundbite (Theresa), but if 11 negotiators go into a room cynically determined to carve out as much flesh as possible for themselves, and one walks in blathering about (and worse, believing in) globalism and cooperation, it's not hard to predict the result.
One thing you can't accuse Trump of is being a bad negotiator. He literally wrote the book on it. And if he's only focussed on the next deal on the table rather than on his legacy as a Statesman, that's to the benefit of the US and USians. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

That, pretty much. Politicians spend their career competing with other politicians, from the student society, through their local constituency, up the greasy party pole, then again for Minster for Foo / Secretary of Bar roles.
It's a poor metric against which to measure success and competence.
Can Trump deal with them while in office? Well, ask the seasoned politicians that he rekt on his way there, using his zero years of experience. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

You mistake my commentary for giving a shit about it. |
Stop being a dick. Farage will get on way better with Trump, than May and all the other British politicians, purely because he wasn't thick enough to jump on the popularity bandwagon and slag him off.
A frigging stupid move from Cameron, most lefties and Corbyn, when the bloke could be the next leader of our biggest ally. Oh, look what happened, anti Brexit Cameron, May and Corbyn. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

No, he'll get on fine with Trump because he'll do whatever he needs to grab himself a lucrative role with lots of cash. He's exactly like every other politician a sell out and looking after himself, nobody else.
You might believe otherwise, that's up to you. If you do you've been taken in. |
So, much like Brexit, you don't think those who slagged off the idea, thinking it would lose, fecked up then?

He didn't so much sell out as buy in to politics. Remember, he was a city boy, trading commodities. If he'd stuck with that, he'd likely have raked in a lot more than an MEP's salary, even with the expenses.

That's a bold statement of fact. Can you show some evidence backing it up? Beyond the usual hearsay slander, and therefore-Hitler smears, I mean. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
