Antagonizing the people you are intending (pretending?) to negotiate with is real fucking smart.
Trump just behaves like a schoolyard bully. He attacks classes of people and executes his childish ad hominid attacks like a Internet toll. I think this is mainly a show to rally his "red hats" but behaving like this when dealing with trade and diplomacy is going to end very badly.
We could be selling China the things that we are good at creating but Chinese can make them themselves now without us. They won and we lost this round.
Trump's Carrier "victory" was old-school incentives by a state government and punitive tariff threats from a yet to be formed federal government. Good cop bad cop with private industry just like a Democrat administration would do -- so the only difference is the party name-tag [R] or [D] ? What a fuckin' bad joke on the *red hats*
