Chronicles of a stable genius - all the biggliest stuff

errr, no. With 9 years of following Trump in the political sphere, and seeing all manner of commentary on him, I glean things from what I hear.

It's like in a sale, you want $500, but you offer $550, so that the buyer haggles to bring it down to $500 so he thinks he's got a deal.

It's that method of proposing a wild high offer, but secretly knowing the aim of the deal is somewhere in between.

I see this in Trump's declaration to make Canada a state of the U.S., and to buy Greenland, and to take back the Panama Canal. If you read the conservative analysis, in the last few days it is clear that Trump is obtaining concessions from Canada, Denmark/Greenland and Panama that are far in excess of the present status quo.

Think. Today it is reported that Denmark will allow the U.S. to have a greater military presence in Greenland. Now, if Trump had OPENED THE NEGOTIATION to have a greater military presence in Greenland, he could expect Denmark to whittle him down. But if he starts by saying the U.S. is going to buy Denmark, that's his upper offer and he negotiates down to what he wants.

Overall, the Mainstream Media have zero idea how Trump negotiates. For example, the think he's a fool for asserting that the U.S. is going to take back the Panama Canal. Firstly, in the Treaty, the wording does appear to give scope for the U.S. to take action in Panama. And by starting so high, he has already - as of today - managed to secure concessions from the Panamanian government to not give so much soft control of the canal to China.

People are so used to politicians who are mere career politico's, that you have not seen how businessmen use psychological strategy to steer through the opposition to obtain the best deal.

It will be fascinating to see Pam Bondi (Attorney General), Kash Patel (FBI), Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence) and John Ratcliff (CIA) go about the task of demolishing the corrupt, partisan un-elected power structure.

You can be sure that the Mainstream Media will report everything opposite.

so I have read that book and there is nowhere in that book where he (or the ghostwriter) mentions using the technique which you mentioned to get a deal over the line

My comments come from listening to a very large number of conservative commentators who are not just reporting events, but assessing Trump's strategy of achieving big goals in the face of massive resistance from (1) the Washington establishing, (2) from 50% of the population on the Far Left, and (3) the Mainstream Media and educational system.

It is absolutely fascinating how to get the job done in a short 2 years.

For me, the most fascinating part will how he will make an opportunity to examine the evidence of election fraud of the 2020 and 2024 U.S. federal elections.

I think it will be like dominos falling. The public -- and I mean the vast bulk of the population who are so busy with daily life, they don't have time to delve into the details of how the fraud was carried out. For these people, they need a highlight to make them see how corrupt the Democrats have been. Once that single example of corruption has been revealed, the general public will be open to further investigations.

Why read a book when you can ask AI, right

BTW your posts are about 5% interesting if you substitute MSM 'mainstream media' for MSM 'men who have sex with men'

I learn from Donald Trump in "The Art of the Deal" - it's like Trump telling Kim Jong Un he's a great guy. It helps grease the tracks to smoothen the negotiations.

Is there a chapter in the book about starting a trade war with no clear objective, getting your bluff called, folding after 24 hours and then agreeing to something that was already negotiated by the previous admistration, while adding one ludicrous sounding job title for one person - just for theatrics for your supporters to think you’ve achieved something?

That means you read my writings. It is deeply honouring, but also makes me realise the responsibility I have, that people follow my every word. This internet thing is quite amazing - to be able to communicate with people across the expanse of cyberspace.

Does it also dawn on you how unhinged it makes you sound when you accuse other forumites of "following the masses" and then posting link after link of gateway pundit malarky and claim it is a highly popular website???

Just asking for a friend?

In the U.S. the website, The Gateway Pundit, is the 39th most visited website in the U.S. in terms of news. Regarding news from a conservative viewpoint, it is number 5. See my post above #1,977

Daily I read conservative media websites, and also listen to conservative YouTube sites.

Trump has enunciated a very brief shortlist of demands from Canada and Mexico as demands in exchange for withdrawing tariffs.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

JUST IN: President Trump Releases Statement After Imposing Tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China | The Gateway Pundit | by Jordan Conradson

In a bold move, President Trump has announced significant tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, citing national security concerns. His statement highlights the ongoing battle against illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

Question to you: given Trump's clearly stated objections, why do you say it has no clear objective? Instead, you should be dialoging on whether the objectives are beneficial or not, true or false. Instead you engage in slander by labelling it as "no clear objective". You would rather paint Trump as an idiot, rather than discuss his policies - standard Left Wing Communist tactic.

You think you went into Communism to help the people, but Communist comes along with a Show Day bag of filthy tactics that lead to Gulags and Pravda censorship - all of which we have seen taken to those extremes by the U.S. Democrats in their recent 4 year term.

And following what the "masses' consume is the key identifier of a "non-critical" thinker . See every single one of your posts for the past 3 years....

“This internet thing is quite amazing - to be able to communicate with people across the expanse of cyberspace.“

You just realised how amazing the internet is?!

What was his clear objective?

In the article I cited, the clear objectives for Canada were:

- stop allowing Fentanyl from China to be brought into the U.S. through Canada.

- stop being a gateway for illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. via Canada.

The article I cited quoted Trump's post on his social media (which I follow):

"Today, I have implemented [tariffs on] Mexico and Canada ... This was done ... because of the major threat of illegal aliens and deadly drugs killing our Citizens, including fentanyl. ... I made a promise on my Campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our Borders, and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it."​

@tsf do you find that a clear objective? From what I read, both Mexico and Canada have subsequently agreed to implement those, and that is why Trump gave them an extension of time to get their act together on these two objectives.

I have seen videos of drug addicts afflicted by fentanyl, and it is terrible. No one would or should fight against the objective of reducing the amount of fentanyl entering one's country.

Possibly, judging from your comments, I was using the internet before you were out of primary school.

Ok, he didn’t stop either of those two things.
