He tells you what he wants and if he doesn't get everything he asks for, he walks away from the table and throws a "hissy fit." That's not negotiation.

No. It's not.

Understand you hate the dude but it is blinding common sense. You just stated a few posts ago about how China has all this influence yet you don't believe "this move is absolutely necessary?" Do you expect some kind of instant shift due to policy change? Do we continue down the same path and make long-term matters worse? Look, change is necessary and like all things, there is a transition period. Nobody gets to snap their fingers and correct a wrong. Take this how you may, but I see you criticize a ton but never offer opinions on a fix action.

Rule 101 for those who have worked for me and my kids...you don't get to come and waste time and energy with complaining unless you can provide possible solutions to address the issue. This message board isn't fixing U.S. policy and you don't work for me but it does progress debate a bit further than " I hate trump and you're wrong."

FYI... planned negotiations have positive result. Let's see where an agreement leads:  https://www.ft.com/content/24c3f30a-99b8...5cbb98ed36
