.@Varneyco “Trump supporters have long claimed that the @POTUS’ negotiating skills would carry him through...It has not worked out that way” pic.twitter.com/iujNqfNlg7— FOX Business (@FoxBusiness) August 19, 2017

______

How can there even be negotiation when the other side refuses to participate and, to add insult to injury, instead disparages and demeans the very idea of negotiation?

Trump can negotiate just fine, provided he has a partner. Varney knows this, of course.

Isn’t it amazing how much Trump has managed to accomplish in a few months with the entire world refusing to participate?
The childish opponents who snigger and sneer about how he isn’t _that_ rich, he isn’t _that good_ at negotiation, he “Can’t make America great again” because they won’t go along must be besides themselves as Trump’s popularity rises, theirs falls and we all can’t wait to deliver payback in any way possible.

Not a one of them can recover from this tantrum. Trump started out with an extended hand and goodwill. Now, he’s rolling up his sleeves and his supporters are activated. That’s what Bannon meant by saying the administration they campaigned for is dead.

Welcome to the revolution!

Steve Bannon will be a tough and smart new voice at @BreitbartNews...maybe even better than ever before. Fake News needs the competition!

Well stated. Also the reality is unlike the business world, no senator, or congressperson is going to immediately lose their job, income, etc.

In business negotiations the bottom line is what causes agreement. Reagan although not a businessman by experience knew this and his “ part of a loaf “ analogy reflected that.

Todays politicians hide behind totality instead of incremental steps to the end goal to rationalize an objection to progress when they know the status quo ( Obamacare, taxes, regulations) only leads to something that hurts the general non freebie oriented population

Great summary.

My reply to Varney was pretty much a shortened version of what you stated :-)
