Negotiator

One of the many mysteries about Trump that is yet to be deciphered is whether a businessman can govern as a politician. One area that is slowly coming to light is his negotiating style. He said NATO was obsolete and then conceded it could be updated which would include all countries paying their part. He said China was a currency manipulator and he would consider working with Taiwan and then is willing to push that aside to get co-operation on North Korea. He cozied up to Russia to get them to join the fight against terrorism and then got tough as he tried to get them to weaken Assad. He said he would build a fence and enforce the border and this led to a decrease in border crossings. He said he would get rid of NAFTA and now Mexico has suggested they work out a new deal.
