Basic myths Donald Trump is all trading. “Trading is my artistic style,” he wrote in the art of the contract. “Others draw a beautiful picture on the canvas and write wonderful poems. I like trading. It’s a preference and a big deal. It’s a way to get my kick.” The image is personally very useful for Trump, forming his realistic empire, television Persona, and politics. Sometimes, he provided his supporters to process and defend what they were not. What is the troublesome thing he says? All of those destructive ideas? It is called negotiations. When you are known as a man who trades, everything is a bit off. In any case, it is desirable to be known as a sexual assault.
The art of the contract is a useful lens for Trump to understand how to end with his own steak line, but it is an incomplete framework to think about his presidential position. Hugging over the right and residue of the Air Force is generally different from trying to get a canal, but one of the stakeholders manages nuclear weapons. Transaction means some mutual consent. The remarkable feature of Trump’s rule is the power and threat he brings to the table, and he is willing to use both to secure what he wants. In Trump, not everything is a transaction. It is a hostage negotiation.
The American industrial giants, who are not familiar with contracts and negotiations, demonstrate their clear awareness of new rules in their check -ups and fragmented statements. They rather, they don’t know what will happen to those who don’t pay.
Consider one of the core responsibilities of the federal government, one of the emergency support after natural disasters. During the 2024 campaign, Trump promises to rescue future disasters for the hostage of California, and just before it was abandoned without transporting it at Coachella Valley Lunch, Governor Gavin Newsam changed his state water management policy. He told me that money would be released only when it was done. More more resources to agriculture. “We are going to deal with your water situation,” he said. “We push it down to his throat.” Gabin, if you don’t do it, we don’t give you the money you send to you for all forest fire. What you have.
It is not a lazy threat. His administration refused to request disaster relief in California after a series of fire in 2020. In the same year, he had never approved a request for a wildfire assistance from Washington. Following the 2018 fire in Orange County, Trump has been reported that he does not want to support people who consider political enemies, and the number of Republican members who lived there. I had to provide data about it. Trump was Bal to send more money to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. “It was a very business contract,” said the same NSC staff to E & E News. “This is a lot of money. What do we get in return?”
This idea was narrowed down to his party’s rank and file. In early January, Los Angeles and his surrounding area destroyed the whole area and caused $ 250 billion, and Mr. Warren Davidson (R-OHIO) said, “If you want money, you should go there. As a result, like a villain in the last bond in the vial of the anti -poop. Give us what we want, or the child gets it.
This substitute politics is everywhere. In the last few weeks, Trump has a lot of the prospects of the annexation of Greenland (currently Denmark’s autonomy territory) and the Panama Canal area (returned to the same country under the conditions of the 1979 treaty). I talked. There is no good belief to be done there. You cannot simply buy something that is not sold. Instead, Trump talked about forcing transactions by refusing to use the army to exclude both territory. At the same time, he threatens to blast NATO unless the members have begun to spend a lot of GDP in defense. The fire extinguisher takes a variety of shapes.
Similar to disaster funds, such a threat is the continuation of his first MO Trump promise, unless the Ukrainian government has manufactured soil in Joe Biden. It was Trump’s first bullet EACH propulsion. Mike Pence was almost literally his hostage for a while on January 6, 2021. And the threat of violence depends on all the demands he issued from a nation where he and now he dominates the supporters he can easily operate. (One of the Republican Senator personally quoted Trump’s ability to hire critics from critics. But some of these threats are more serious than others, but they all have a gun on what they value. Get it in a Trump twist for an old man: Don’t waste other people.
There are signs that hostage politics already provides a large return. Eric Adams, mayor of New York City, who was charged with corruption last fall, seems to believe that if he supports the suppression of Trump immigrants, he can secure pardon and stop prosecutors. (He has publicly committed to not criticizing the president’s actions.) CBS has been reported that he is considering paying a lawsuit for $ 10 billion of the $ 10 billion. This is the one that claimed that ownership had committed “election interference” in daily editing of Camara Harris. It may help secure support for unrelated merger.
After Trump threatened Jeff Bezos, the second most rich man in the world, and his own company, Bezos now helps to make a bill for the inauguration ceremony. Apply to work with the President and pay $ 40 million to create a documentary for Melania Trump. Mark Zuckerberg, the third richest man in the world, where Trump should go to prison, is also lined up. It was more convenient to pay a ransom than to maintain a resistance facade.
This can be called “driving a hard bargain”. The policy proposal is a carrot and a stick, and is attacked by CAJOLING. Photo, for a while, Lindon Baines Johnson. However, negotiations over expenditures do not usually focus on punishment threats, even in the house.
For Trump, this simple dynamics is incorporated into his central policy proposal this year. We are inconveniencing Canada, China, Mexico, and other countries that cross him. For rank and file citizens, tariffs are threats to living expenses by potentially jacking almost all prices. But for a large company, this agreement is easier. It is basically a demand for ransom. Theoretically, customs duties are applied to everyone in a specific sector, but the government can issue exemptions. Who will be exempted? Who do you think? A recent study of the Journal of the Financial and Lunciative analysis reveals that there is a correlation between political support and the grant of tariff exemption. Conversely, companies that opposed politics have discovered that they are more likely to refuse to request.
Here, there is no shortage of CO diseases in the workplace, from those who are not responsible for working for workers and rivals. In order for Trump’s strategy to work, many people who have an agency that chose not to use it. However, the US industrial giants are not used to trading and negotiations, so they demonstrate clear perceptions of new rules in checkbooks and fabric statements. They rather, they don’t know what will happen to those who don’t pay.
