From Joe Hagstrom in MadMikesAmerica:
Seeing as how so many confuse my hero Donald Trump’s negotiating technique with haphazard confusion, it is my duty as a loyal conservative Republican to educate these deluded fools.
While the president is always calling for a deal on something or another, his real secret to success is never agreeing to anything. Or agreeing and later denying agreement and demanding more. His wall negotiations, not that there really are any are showing his negotiating genius.
There apparently are some cracks on both sides of the aisle that may convince some of the less ballsy to agree to Trump’s latest offer which really was no offer. His demand for 5.7 billion dollars may well pass the House and Senate though. And Trump will refuse to sign the bill. Instead he will demand another 5 billion or more and keep the government shut down.
