President Trump Is a Better Dealbreaker Than Dealmaker

It is clear that Trump is not a good businessman or president. Even before the collapse of the North Korea negotiations, it was clear that this week was not going to do much for Trump’s vaunted self-image as a dealmaker. Not only were the prospects for the Kim meeting in doubt, there were setbacks regarding Trump’s two other top priorities: China and Iran.

On Monday morning, after a weekend of negotiations with China, Trump appeared to be abruptly backing off his threat to launch a trade war with Beijing, without winning any major concessions. “It’s absolutely stunning how we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory,” Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, a huge proponent of Trump’s earlier strategy of confrontation, told the Times. “Sadly China is out-negotiating the administration & winning the trade talks right now,” the Republican Senator Marco Rubio, of Florida, a free-trader whose views are generally the opposite of Bannon’s, tweeted on Tuesday. By Wednesday evening, Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, and his Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross, rushed up to the Capitol for an emergency session with a half-dozen unhappy Republican senators. The attendees were mad at Trump, but for different reasons than Bannon. They pressed for an explanation as to why, exactly, Trump seemed to be granting concessions to a Chinese telecom company, ZTE, that has been crippled by U.S. sanctions that prevent it from buying American components. The answer appeared to be a personal, direct request to Trump from the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, amid the broader talks over Trump’s threat of sweeping trade tariffs. That explanation, though, failed to appease the senators. An attendee at the meeting told me later that he anticipated there could be more than seventy votes in the Senate to block Trump legislatively on the matter. This is not generally what winning looks like.


On Iran, meanwhile, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rolled out on Monday what the White House billed as “our new Iran strategy.” Pompeo called for a sweeping new accord that Iran and the Europeans would somehow agree to after Trump blew up the old Iran deal. The Administration’s new strategy was quickly dismissed as unrealistic and a non-starter by many European allies and former Obama Administration officials still furious over Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from a pact that took years to negotiate. “Pompeo’s Iran Plan Is a Pipe Dream,” a headline in Foreign Policy said, hours after the speech. Soon after the article was posted, Pompeo tweeted furiously in response, “It’s not a pipe dream to ask the Iranian leadership to behave like a normal, responsible country.” The senior Administration official said he, too, was ticked off about the Iran criticism. “We haven’t even begun negotiations,” the official said, but, inside the Beltway bubble, “everyone is preëmptively declaring it dead? This is ridiculous.”

Americans, of course, quickly blamed all of it on a President who loves to brag about accomplishments, regardless of whether they are, in fact, accomplished. “Trump’s art of the self-harming deal,” the Financial Times’s chief U.S. columnist, Ed Luce, wrote. “Apparently he is not a strong dealmaker at all,” the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin wrote. “Artless negotiation from the President who penned the ‘Art of the Deal,’ ” the Times’s DealBook editor-at-large, Andrew Ross Sorkin, offered. And that was all before Thursday morning’s announcement that the summit with North Korea was off, and, with it, Trump’s hopes for a nuclear deal to end all deals.

On Tuesday, at a meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in the Oval Office, Trump seemed to signal where it was all headed. Speaking to reporters, the President delivered a mini-lecture about the perils of dealmaking. “Whether the deal gets made or not, who knows? It’s a deal. Who knows? You never know about deals. You go into deals that are one hundred per cent certain, it doesn’t happen. You go into deals that have no chance, and it happens, and sometimes happens easily,” Trump told the reporters. “I made a lot of deals. I know deals, I think, better than anybody knows deals. You never really know.”

At 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, I was speaking with a senior Administration official involved in the preparations for President Trump’s summit with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un. The chances, the official told me, were still “seventy-thirty” that the summit would happen, in Singapore, on June 12th, despite increasingly jittery statements from both sides in recent days. By the time we talked again, after dinner, however, the prospects seemed to be dropping by the minute. The North Koreans had released a new statement in the hour since we had first spoken, calling remarks by Vice-President Mike Pence “ignorant and stupid” and threatening to cancel the meeting and, instead, proceed with a “nuclear-to-nuclear showdown.” “I saw that,” the official said, referring to the bellicose new statement. “Well, maybe it’s down to sixty-forty, but the point is we are planning for it.”

Already, though, it was clear that the summit, which so recently had Trump openly musing about his prospects for a Nobel Peace Prize, was in serious doubt, and the official repeatedly returned to the question of the blame game that could ensue if the talks collapsed. He had been reviewing the long history of unsuccessful nuclear negotiations with North Korea, spanning three generations of the Kim family, and had concluded that, no matter what the facts, there was always an aggressive fight to affix responsibility. “Whenever talks have failed with North Korea,” the Administration official observed, “it’s been because of North Korea.”

On Thursday morning, Trump called off the summit, writing in a testy letter to Kim that he was cancelling the meeting, “based on the tremendous anger and hostility displayed in your most recent statement.” The blame game, it seemed, had already begun. By this point, Americans had begun to realize their president had no diplomacy skills whatsoever.

“Apparently he is not a strong dealmaker at all,” the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin wrote. “Artless negotiation from the President who penned the ‘Art of the Deal,’ ” the Times’s DealBook editor-at-large, Andrew Ross Sorkin, offered. And that was all before Thursday morning’s announcement that the summit with North Korea was off, and, with it, Trump’s hopes for a nuclear deal to end all deals.

Speaking to reporters, the President delivered a mini-lecture about the perils of dealmaking. “Whether the deal gets made or not, who knows? It’s a deal. Who knows? You never know about deals. You go into deals that are one hundred per cent certain, it doesn’t happen. You go into deals that have no chance, and it happens, and sometimes happens easily,” Trump told the reporters. “I made a lot of deals. I know deals, I think, better than anybody knows deals. You never really know.”

...

Did they really just call out a multi billionaire and one of the world most aggressive capitalists a bad businessman?

Trump on 'deals', after fumbling several deals:

"I MADE A LOT OF DEALS. I KNOW DEALS, I THINK, BETTER THAN ANYBODY KNOWS DEALS. YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW."

He is not a billionaire. Not at all.

He won't release his income tax records because it will prove he's a liar. He only has $330 mil

Hes good at both. I would say.

But your right that when America gets a bad deal that needs to be nullified hes fucking amazing at it.

RE: BILLIONS

while Trump is not a billionaire, he indeed DID lose tens of billions of other people's money in terrible business decisions.

just like he was amazing at nullifying any profits from his casinos, where he lost billions, right?

"
▶
''' "I MADE A LOT OF DEALS. I KNOW DEALS, I THINK, BETTER THAN ANYBODY KNOWS DEALS. YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW."


▶

Practically all the casinos lost money during that period regardless of management.

He's SUCH a bad businessman that he literally lost tens of billions of dollars on his idiotic 'deals' in NYC, and all of the banks he had fucked over got together and made a decision that losing MOST of the money was better than losing ALL of the money, so they decided to 'keep Trump afloat'.

The ONLY reason he still has $300 million is because the banks needed him to still 'be in the game's (albiet at a toddler's level) so they could get a fraction of their money back.

hahaha sure they did. sssuuurrre they did

"IMADE A LOT OF DEALS. I KNOW DEALS, I THINK, BETTER THAN ANYBODY KNOWS DEALS. YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW."

research the meeting between the team of attorneys hired to represent the banks whom he defaulted on. it's an eye opener

Very intereesting…

In an interview, the attorneys said this was a once in a lifetime meeting, in which it was self-evident that Trump had completely fucked everything up and shown an utter lack of business acumen.

He had flushed tens of 'billions of other people's money down an ego-driven toilet, and they had come to read him the riot act.

Almost instantly, all of the attorneys realized Trump was delusional due to his comments and behavior. He kept lying, even though the attorneys knew the truth and had all the numbers in front of them.

They said Trump was behaving like a child who 'covers his eyes, thinking that way, you won't be able to see him'.

When the meeting finally reached the most pivotal moment, Trump suddenly 'clapped his hands' three times, and on cue, a door opened up. One of Trump's assistants walked into the room carrying a box, which he placed on the table in front of Trump.

As the attorneys looked at each other in amazement, Trump began handing out autographed copies of 'The Art of The Deal'.

lol ahhhh, you're right.

that proves TRUMP IS A GENIUS BUSINESSMAN

Nice spacing you have there reddit.

TRUMP'S 'ART OF THE DEAL' GHOSTWRITER TONY SCHWARTZ SAYS 'PUTIN OWNS TRUMP'

The man who ghost-wrote President Donald Trump’s best-seller The Art of the Deal has claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin “owns” Trump, and he said he hopes the U.S. president will be taken down by special counsel Robert Mueller.

“What keeps my hope alive is the deep, abiding belief that Mueller has got Trump dead to right, including his collusion with Russia. All signs suggest to me that Putin owns Trump, and it's going to come out,” author Tony Schwartz tweeted Tuesday.

Schwartz has been a vocal critic of Trump since he began speaking out against him during the 2016 election, warning in an interview with The New Yorker “that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”

Schwartz said he feels “a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is” through the book published 30 years ago.

The main thing I learned from the art of the deal that I use in my own business is that you 'dont enter in to a negotiation that you arent prepared to back out of'.
Dont be like Obama and let the other party know you will agree to the deal no matter what their demands. Make it seem like you will back out if they dont give you what you want.
This has actually made me more successful in business.

Why does President Trump behave in the dangerous and seemingly self-destructive ways he does?

Three decades ago, I spent nearly a year hanging around Trump to write his first book, “The Art of the Deal,” and got to know him very well. I spent hundreds of hours listening to him, watching him in action and interviewing him about his life. To me, none of what he has said or done over the past four months as president comes as a surprise. The way he has behaved over the past two weeks — firing FBI Director James B. Comey, undercutting his own aides as they tried to explain the decision, disclosing sensitive information to Russian officials and railing about it all on Twitter — is also entirely predictable.

Early on, I recognized that Trump’s sense of self-worth is forever at risk. When he feels aggrieved, he reacts impulsively and defensively, constructing a self-justifying story that doesn’t depend on facts and always directs the blame to others.

The Trump I first met in 1985 had lived nearly all his life in survival mode. By his own description, his father, Fred, was relentlessly demanding, difficult and driven. Here’s how I phrased it in “The Art of the Deal”: “My father is a wonderful man, but he is also very much a business guy and strong and tough as hell.” As Trump saw it, his older brother, Fred Jr., who became an alcoholic and died at age 42, was overwhelmed by his father. Or as I euphemized it in the book: “There were inevitably confrontations between the two of them. In most cases, Freddy came out on the short end.”

Duurrr I wearned sumfin' !!

en Tony Schwartz, Donald Trump’s ghostwriter for his 1987 memoir, “The Art of the Deal,” decided to tell the public about his concerns that Trump isn’t fit to serve as President, his main worry was that Trump, who is famously litigious, would threaten to take legal action against him. Schwartz’s premonition has proved correct.

On Monday, July 18th, the day that this magazine published my interview with Schwartz, and hours after Schwartz appeared on “Good Morning America” to voice his concerns about Trump’s “impulsive and self-centered” character, Jason D. Greenblatt, the general counsel and vice-president of the Trump Organization, issued a threatening cease-and-desist letter to Schwartz. (You can read the full letter at the bottom of this post.) In it, Greenblatt accuses Schwartz—who has likened his writing of the flattering book to putting “lipstick on a pig”—of making “defamatory statements” about the Republican nominee and claiming that he, not Trump, wrote the book, “thereby exposing” himself to “liability for damages and other tortious harm.”

Any used car salesman knows that you don't enter a negotiation with desperation


wow

"Trump is a genius businessman"
Hahahahaha !! Lol @ you actually buying his book, and all you got out of it was "don't be desperate"!!!!

This week, the co-author of Donald Trump’s autobiography said in The New Yorker that if he were writing The Art of the Deal today, it would be a very different book with a very different title: The Sociopath.

To title a person’s life story with that label is a serious accusation, and one worth considering. The stakes are high. Tony Schwartz, the writer of the best-selling book, said that he “genuinely believe[s] that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes, there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.” In that light, Schwartz said he feels “deep remorse” at having “put lipstick on a pig.”

That seemed to me to be something of a contradiction to the charge of sociopathy, as pigs have been found to show signs of empathy. If you call a pig by name, it will come and play with you, reciprocating affection like a dog. So which is it, pig or sociopath?

I’m not here to be Trump’s doctor. He has a doctor, and his name is Harold Bornstein—the fellow who wrote in his official doctor’s note, “I can state unequivocally [that Trump] will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”

Bornstein’s willingness to make such a claim suggests that Trump’s health may not have undergone legitimate scrutiny. Unless the doctor has been alive since 1789 to personally examine the health of every sitting president, it would seem that he would approve of our exercise in remote appraisal of his patient.

And in the context of an election where Trump has repeatedly, strategically branded people with single words that seem to have proven influential—“Little Marco,” “Lyin’ Ted,” and “Crooked Hillary”—would “Sociopathic Donald” be an intellectually honest equivalent?

Labeling people from afar is an inherently flawed endeavor, of course, especially with regard to mental health. Many psychologists and psychiatrists say that their work could never be done remotely, and should never be attempted outside of the standard, one-on-one approach to diagnosis. Many regard anything less as patently unethical. But certain extenuating circumstances seem to make this exercise worthwhile.

Psychiatrists often bestow labels knowing less about the facts of people’s lives and actions than we collectively know today about Donald Trump’s. We’re also legitimized in this endeavor by the fact that sociopathy and psychopathy—which are similar, and sometimes used interchangeably—are not formal psychiatric diagnoses. The terms “sociopath” and “psychopath” do tend to be thrown around casually by people in need of an insult that carries an air of empiricism. “My boss is a sociopath” is to say that this is not just an opinion or judgment, but a fact. But different people define the terms differently, with understandings converging around the feature of lacking “a conscience.”

...

For 18 months in the mid-1980s, Tony Schwartz was at Donald Trump’s side, shadowing and interviewing the New York businessman for Trump’s best-selling memoir, The Art of the Deal. Schwartz co-wrote the book with Trump, earning a $250,000 advance for the project and half of the book’s millions in royalties. He says that at the time, his job was “to create the most appealing portrait I could of this man I had been paid to write a book on behalf of.” But today, Schwartz is an outspoken critic of Trump, and says he regrets the role that The Art of the Deal played in catapulting Trump to new levels of fame.

In the below interview, Schwartz speaks at length about his relationship with Trump during research for the book, and why based on that experience, he has become a critic of Trump.

Lol that was easy enough

so this is /r/fakenews now?

Good how many billions are you worth?
that is what I thought faggot

...

So, let me get this straight………..

I correctly pointed out that at least half of the companies on your list were complete failures, and your response was to tell me I'm not a billionaire ?

Hahahaha !!!

Actually, I AM a billionaire ! I read 'The Art of The Deal' and I learned not to enter into business negotiations acting desperate and needy. That gem of wisdom changed my life, and now I'm a billionaire.

THE FUNNIEST PART

before he ran for president, Trump's public persona actually had a tiny amount of admirable quality…

because the public only had a minimal amount of exposure to the Man Behind The Name, the average person believed the public perception that the name 'Trump' was synonymous with savvy business, insightful deals, and thought he was actually a billionaire.

By running for president, and by having communist Russia manipulate the election, we all now see him for what he truly is: an idiot.

Even Trump supporters are fully aware of what an embarrassing idiot he is, although to admit it would be to admit that they are also idiots, which would be embarrassing for them.

Jesus dude, can you make yourself an even better charicature of " drumphf BTFO!!!!" ?

This is probably pasta, but to "put lipstick on a pig" is just an old expression meaning to disguise an unattractive thing as attractive. It shouldn't be taken literally or analyzed beyond its face value. Only a non-English speaker or autistic faggot could attack a simple expression like that.

...

Reading over the post again. It does have some valid points. And while I agree that Trump is probably a sociopath, or at least an idiot, a lot of the points are only attacking semantics. Most of the actual points are implied and fairly weak. And that kind of passive aggressive hand-wringing argument is Jewish as fuck.

Speaking of acting desperate:

Only one day after Trump 'called off the summit', he announced that 'its still on, hopefully'.

(and Trump didn't call anything off)

His announcement was a knee jerk reaction trying to save face, after Kim Jong-un called the summit off.

I'm very familiar with the 'lipstick on a pig' metaphor, and it correctly describes what the ghost-writer was hired to do.

(and what Trump supporters are forced to do more and more with each passing day that Trump puts his foot into his mouth even further)

To the uninitiated, the phrase 'lipstick on a pig' may seem to describe one of Jim's homemade sty-porns, but nobody cares what the uninitiated think.

No matter how you slice it, Trump is not a talented 'deal maker', and in fact, he has a knack for making everybody laugh in his face due to his apparent Oblivion regarding how much of a clown he is.

The proof is in the pudding.

Trump hasn't accomplished a single thing so far, other than to crash deals and fuck everything up.

He hasn't achieved any of his stated goals, hasn't lived up to any of his campaign promises, and hasn't done anything to improve the economy. In fact, his actions have backfired, and now we are facing the backlash, and an even worse economy in the upcoming future.

The ONLY deal he successfully completed was a secretive arrangement where the GOP made sure that the top 2% made even more money at the expense of the average taxpayer, and guaranteed that your grandchildren will be paying off an even greater debt than ever before.

Brilliant

interesting article which really made me think. I voted for Trump, but I must admit that in retrospect, I regret my choice. I am not an Obama supporter, but watching Trump mismanage his term in office while he tweets insane childish rants truly makes me realize how good we had it when Obama was in office. I'm definitely not going to vote for Trump in 2020, and it's fairly clear that he'll never be elected to a second term.

OP here……

I'm not an Obama fan myself, but when you compare the two presidential styles it's obvious that Trump is a fucking idiot, while Obama was probably a genius in some ways…………………….

At the very least, Obama was likely the most talented public speaker we have ever had in office, and since presidents are really just a puppet head, at least Obama was a puppet head that didn't continually make America look like a bunch of idiots.

That's a fact. And I bet it frustrates him to no end.

I disagree about him being the best public speaker but clearly Trump is a terrible public speaker. the part I find interesting is how the Republican Party openly stated that they weren't going to allow any of Obama's deals work, but now that a Republican is in office, and without the Republicans sabotaging him, he still can't accomplish a single thing. really makes you think.

You must live in a different reality than the rest of us. I don't care for Trump, but this is patently false. He has delivered on many of his promises.

I believe this is what could categorically be called a blogpost (simply done by a professional journalist) since it says it's a columnist piece and I'm failing to find actual news in this piece.

Bumplocked for now since it's a grey area and I've got stuff to do today.

what like golfing and ruling through executive orders more than obama?

Really ?…….

So he promised he would be blackmailed by the Russians? Did he promise he would illegally spend campaign funds to pay hush money to a double-digit IQ prostitute who bent him over a barrel? Did he promise to focus more on blocking Twitter accounts that disagree with him more than focusing on our economy?….

If so, then he has certainly lived up to his promises.

...

too bad you're incapable of bumplocking my nuts off your chin

Upon further review, this particular opinion piece is discussing various pieces of news, and isn't just an analysis piece, thus I've decided to unlock it despite being a grey area.

There are several websites dedicated to keeping track of every single one of these promises. Just search for them. I'm not listing them for you. Just suffice to say that has has delivered on many things. And failed to deliver on much more. But it's just plain idiotic shilling to say that he has not delivered on any of his promises.

When the deals are shit. this is exactly what we needed.
good deal > no deal > bad deal

he wont make a deal unless its good. this is objectively the best way to make deals.

It was very apparent from the start that Trump would have to take unprecedented action to drain the swamp.
I've seen mass arrests of low level players, but nothing I've seen so far can even remotely qualify as unprecedented. The opportunity window closes on midterm elections and then it's back to
What's your game plan, Mr. President? Get out and vote? Is this the big plan of dealing with murderers and pedophiles? Get out and vote?
WE FUCKING DID THAT ALREADY

What, like just off the top of my head? Popular new tax plan, obamacare defund/repeal, iran deal withdrawal, reduced government staffing, pipeline project restored, jobs back from overseas, reduced funding for EPA.

Dont forget he withdrew from the terrible Paris climate deal.
And he reminded Germany that they arent paying their expected contributions to NATO and in fact owe a lot of money in back payments.
