The Bully’s Pulpit 0
Thomas Hills, writing at Psychology Today Blogs, dissects Donald Trump’s negotiation* strategy. A snippet:
Now when the bully (sorry, intimidator) pulls out, he says “We’re not going to pay you amount X.”
And the cycle continues . . . .
Hills goes on to explain why this is a loser’s tactic in international relations and accounts for so many of Trump’s “diplomatic” (I use the term loosely, natch) failures. Give it a read.
