This is more TOFU (Trump Often Fxxks Up) than TACO.

Yet news outlets keep catering to that fragile ego of his.

Keeping him from throwing a tantrum?

If he does he usually takes it out on everyone else particularly States and world leaders that say no to him. He's like a spoiled child.

Good. This is exactly what we need to take down Trump’s strongman image. He needs to be laughed at and mocked to expose how hes not strong at all but weak. I hope more countries start dealing with us the same way instead of treating this administration like it’s in any way serious.

Trump has *never* been good at "deal making". He just bullies people and he constantly reneges on his deals. He was famous for not paying contractors long before he ran for president. The only reason people thought he was good at business is because of his stupid scripted "reality" TV show, where he was chosen specifically because he is *bad* at business. He's a caricature of a bad boss. And that comes from the folks who created the show.

I think it depends on how you define 'good at deal making'. He is good at getting people to trust him when they really shouldn't.

They have already made the money on this scam. The rest does not matter.

If you constantly renege on deals, nobody is going to want to make deals with you.

Exactly how is this clown the ‘master of the deal’? Lol.

Let's be honest, the USA's sole military "success" since 1945 has been it's invasion of Grenada - a country with no army, navy or air force. I dare ANYONE to prove I'm wrong.
