Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

Trump will work and negotiate and make deals that are in the best interests of the America (and by default, her friends). But at the same time these deals will also be good for countries acting in the best interests of their people. Trump knows that business and deal-making is not a zero-sum game. That each side's interests are not mutually exclusive. The idea of win/win. Hillary Clinton, with her average IQ coupled with her go-getter opportunism, doesn't get this. Same with most politicians.

Trump has a history of fierce competition and negotiating with fellow billionaire business titan former competitors (Ichan, Beal, Barrack, among others) but never let this fierce competition for advantage EVER develop into any animosity or create enemies. It is telling that these billionaire business titans (Icahn, Beal, Barrack), have all enthusiastically endorsed Trump for President. And Icahn is a lifelong Democrat voter and Barrack said Trump cleaned his clock in their business competition.

Just be open-minded.
