Letter: The great negotiator?
(Alex Brandon | AP) President Donald Trump listens as former NBA basketball player and coach Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics speaks during a Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony in the Oval Office of the White House on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2019, in Washington.
President Trump’s negotiating skills are incredibly disappointing. When a kingdom says that your proposal to buy Greenland is absurd, you don’t complain that their response was nasty. That’s weak!
A great negotiator counters with the possibility of buying Antarctica, or Russia, or maybe the moon. He’s the worst negotiator ... ever. Sad!
