I teach Negotiations. Trump is doing everything wrong even if he wants to take a hard line about the problems he sees. All wrong

No way bro. You teach negotiations. Trump does them and so do I and this makes perfect sense to me.

I also work with companies on negotiations so I do more than teach, but would still disagree strongly about this

IIRC, your main point has been that he should be coordinating with other countries to apply more pressure. I agree with that completely, but outside of that, this makes sense (and remember, we don't know if that is even possible).pic.twitter.com/A9M0fCBZR8

As for my street cred, I've negotiated, probably about $2 MM worth of deals with Chinese companies, personally, with my own money. I have TREMENDOUS respect for my Chinese counterparties. Enormous. Obama was a joke in this department. He didn't get it. Trump gets it.

I totally agree with taking a hard line. I've been clear on that. I think there are better ways to take that hard line in negotiations

How would you do it differently? The problem with Obama was that he thought he was getting concessions when China agreed to do something they were going to do anyways (the emissions promise) and then Obama had no planned follow up.

I wrote a piece about how TRumps insistence on verifiable trade such as upping purchases of US goods while not good economics, makes for good negotiations. Early this year somewhere in Bloomberg

Look, Trump, personally guaranteed hundreds of million dollars of debt and almost lost it all, but didn't and thrived (that "just put daddy's money in the SP and you are Trump rich" argument is bogus, as I hope you know). Frankly, neither of us is qualified to question him.
