      Scott Adams tells you why an “unglued” President who starts a costly trade war is the best negotiator in the game.https://www.pscp.tv/w/bWmgFDExODgwMjU5fDFtbnhlWFp6ZFhOSlj2FqLUPfHTrewKFVOOcYXgDOf4q0otMInQEFTitXhc-w== …

      You're just buying into Trump's fantasy about what makes a great negotiator. He drew a circle around himself and then described its contents. Nice job stroking yourself for matching it in this case.

      Ask any experienced negotiator for a second opinion. Simple as that.

      I'm a professional negotiation consultant and expert in irrational thinking. No, this was not effective, or even competent, negotiation. Trump is, in general, a poor negotiator.https://www.quora.com/Is-Donald-Trump-a-good-negotiator/answer/Colin-McRoberts?share=eb66d00f …

      Are you denying that the most irrational negotiator has an edge?

      Yes. That is a bizarre idea, and not at all consistent with real-world negotiations. Even if we assume that Trump is employing the "madman theory" strategy, we would have to say his implementation is incompetent. The haphazard communication of these policies...

      ... signals that they will not be smoothly implemented, blunting their utility as a threat. Consequently such a strategy would draw the negatives but not enjoy the positives of an aggressive play.

      In negotiation theory terms, it's a massive failure of "intra-organizational bargaining." IOB is a *critical* stage in complex, institutional negotiation. Will limit the US's ability to act and encourage opportunistic moves from counterparts.

      In negotiation practice terms, well, there's a reason negotiators in complex commercial deals don't walk into a room, drop their pants, and threaten to fight the receptionist. Complex deals reward serious strategies, not impulsive wackiness.

      You had to interpret it as crazy to make your case. Better example is I don’t want to sell my house for sentimental reasons. Or someone known to never compromise.

          Neither one of those things conveys a significant advantage. Sentimental motivations are just an interest to be factored in to the price. And not really irrational. And being unwilling to compromise is a tremendous limitation on a negotiator's options, with few upsides.
