“It’s called negotiation,” Trump added, saying that part of his tactic can include setting “a ridiculous high number” for tariff rates and going down if he gets other nations to give in to his demands.

We all know a solid negotiating tactic is telling everyone your negotiation tactic...

Art of the deal, bro

I mean, it's too obvious of a "tactic" anyway.

May he be greeted by a sea of giant cardboard-cutout tacos wherever he goes.

Maybe the rage will finally cause him to stroke out.

It refreshing to have such a master wordsmith at the helm of our country. The man has the vocabulary range of a pediatric room board book.

Just the ones that don't let him do whatever he wants to them.

Oh, so nastier than being asked by a reporter to tell the scared American public something encouraging during a pandemic? So Presidential, this guy.
