It is hard to know where to begin. First, let’s point out that the “Great Negotiator” in the White House has failed to negotiate anything other than backing out of chaos he created.

Ukraine still is an active war zone as the Great Negotiator has been played like a violin by Putin. China got him to back down on his ridiculous tariff increase and, last time I checked, Canada is not a U.S. state.

The new war in the Middle East is a product of his ineptitude as a negotiator. Israel decided to move in spite of Trump’s ongoing negotiation with Iran. Trump now foolishly believes it will make Iran more eager to negotiate. The only short-term impact will be the dissolution of the thought that the U.S. could deter Israel from acting. If that is not possible, why would anyone deal with the Great Negotiator when his fecklessness is clear?

Finally, while Trump send troops to Los Angeles and decries the elected officials there, he is unable to negotiate anything other than trade deals that don’t involve his family’s financial interests (see Viet Nam). Perhaps he can work out a trade deal with Greenland or that island with no inhabitants (well, penguins) that was on his reciprocal tariff chart.

If I were the leader of another country, I would love to get with the Great Negotiator. He still thinks that bankruptcy is an option.
