So the best negotiator in the world meets with the President of China...

[Recursion]

... and comes out saying "Oh, China is not actually a currency manipulator", and gains absolutely nothing in return for backing down from that.

I'm really getting a better sense of why all his businesses went bankrupt.

1. But but but... He's learning! He's pivoting! How dare you say he's a know-nothing flip-flopper!!!

[nikibatts]

2. Not so. China is going to solve our N.K. problem, remember?

3. But he didn't flip-flop...

The world is coming to see his point of view. Com'on he's never wronhg. See cant even spell the word.

Generously paraphrasing Mr. Spicer for my own amusement.

4. the media keeps telling me he's becoming a 'commander in chief'

fuck this guy

5. When I turn on the news in the morning,

I brace myself for the news of what this ignorant and mentally unstable man has done.
When the first word you hear is "bomb" , I really want to crawl back in bed.

I heard them on CBS say, Trump would not verify he gave the order for the bomb in Afghanistan. Were we supposed to believe that the Pentagon did this on their own? They are actually the professionals who are qualified. And then he slunk off to Florida.

6. He's enamoured by a bit of praise...

nice boy Donald, etc. But you did notice, Xi Jinping got the hell out of Dodge PDQ. Sure hope he didn't get food poisoning.

7. Very well said!

8. The negotiator

Only in his pea brain is he the 'the greatest negotiator in the world', the rest of us know better!!

9. Well Trump

is only a great businessman in his dreams and books. He is a pretty good grifter and con man however. Guess China ain't buying his crap.

10. He's not terribly good at anything....

....other than promoting himself. He's all words, no execution. The later is the hard part and what makes a biz successful. He's not terribly intelligent and shows little to no intellectual curiosity. He's got the attention span and grasp of complexity you'd find in the average 4 year old. The only thing going for him, other than daddy's money, is an innate ability to con some people most of the time. Without daddy's money, he'd be just another carnival barker. Why some can't see that plainly is the question or our age.
