    You have to be a willing fool or a Democrat to believe Trump is sincere in praise of his negotiating opponents.

    Please....you aren't suggesting the man would lie, are you?

    Do you publicly call people with whom you are negotiating scumbags even if they are? Did you tell Trump’s bunch they were crooks and thieves, when you were negotiating your contracts with them? Answer: no, you play the game and try to ingratiate yourself with puffery. Those are not “lies,” but rules of the game.

    Well said.
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    You seem to forget----I no longer have anything to do with trump or his organization---because they lie and cheat----and don't pay their bills.

    Just for the record, I am not one who trades on ingratiating myself---to anyone.
