The Slop of the Deal

by Bob Schwartz

Threats, lies, bullying, beating another party to death is not negotiation. Which explains the long list—a lifetime—of failed Trump negotiations, as a “businessman” and as president. Lose-lose describes many of these deals. The latest is the abandoned attempt to reach a trade deal with Canada, with Canadian retaliatory tariffs now about to be put in place, and with most Canadians, looking at their former North American friends, and saying they don’t need and don’t want the products America has to offer.

This all gives “Art” a very bad name.
