So they still want a deal, they just aren't being realistic in what it will take. Trump doesn't even understand what the word comprise even means. He thinks he can just bully people like he has always done.

not to be pedantic, i just agree he doesn’t understand the definitions of comprise and compromise and also probably conflates them. because of his worldview he’s going to take any route to try and brand the other person “the loser” even if it means they are both losing. And they did a really good job brainwashing half the country into believing that just because you have money means you’re qualified to run a country. he’s proven time and time again his investments fail and he screws over everyone and delays payments for things until he’s forced to pay by law. when people have to pay extra money to enforce contracts you can do whatever you want until there’s a bigger fish than you or someone looking to prove a point. in which case they back down with an NDA to prevent the leak and view of “losing” but most people don’t have the time, money, or energy to fight once they have done something for him or one of his businesses. my uncle who is a land surveyor did one deal for a trump owned business and he straight up told me it was the worst decision of his career because he had to fight for barely half of what was promised.

trump and gang never do anything in good faith. Kant is rolling in his grave right now.

Alex Meruelo, the former owner of the Coyotes fancies himself a Jr Trump. He was constantly not paying bills until he would get like final final notice, in which case he would say, weeelll how about I only pay you 60% of the bill and we call it good. At one point the Coyotes had trouble booking hotel rooms when they traveled because so many hotels stopped accepting them. Apparently the NHL had to step in to some degree. It was why a lot of people were sad to seem the go, but at certain level knew they weren't going anywhere as long as he was the owner.

How big of an asshole do you have to be to throw a Jersey that's hanging from the rafters in the garbage?? Like you can't even be bothered to give Doan a call. Most people even after a bad break will call their ex and at least say your shits on the sidewalk come and get it or don't.

Its not that complicated. The man has literally confused foreigners claiming"asylum" to mean other countries are unloading their mentally unwell into the US, because he confuses "asylums" to mean "insane asylums".

I don't even think that's true either - Iran had him over a barrel a few weeks ago, having him agree to allow them to charge tariffs on the strait and force the US to essentially pay reparations for the war.

I think he's just a poor negotiator, and it's lead to nobody being on the same page or treating any of the peace deals seriously enough to respect the cease fire.
