The problem with Trump is he is trying to run the country like he would his own business. In business he can dictate to customers and employees, he can bully his employees and he likes to do his own negotiations where he uses bully and threatening tactics. All of this is somewhat acceptable in a business environment when that threat is the removal of a contract or loss of a job, but its absolutely not acceptable when you are talking about nuclear weapons or trade agreements.

The problem is though, he knows as well as everyone else does that certainly on trade the US will generally win most of the time because other countries rely heavily on that trade and if it becomes a protracted trade war the US is generally in a much better position to survive it than a lot of other countries. We have also seen other countries accept renegotiation of deals, such as the new NAFTA deal with Mexico and Canada as well as his personal involvement in meetings with N Korea and Russia leading to some movement and semi-agreement. All of this has fed the ego that Trump has over his prowess as a master negotiator and thats what spurs him on. His supporters go on and on about the success he has had with N Korea, where previous Presidents haven't even talked to them, yet there was no agreement, no signing of a contract and certainly no action that came out of those meetings at all so far, but it is hailed by him on Twitter and his supporters as a huge win!!!!

Unfortunately his supporters are as deluded as he is and Nov 6th can't come quickly enough. But its worth pointing out that his announcement of policy decisions on Twitter such as this one are probably just that, messages not action, and imo its all designed to stimulate his base supporters to get out and vote and stop the Dems from winning and ruining the country!! Everything he says and does over the next couple of weeks may never come to fruition, its all propaganda!!
