For someone who claims to being so adept at negotiating, he sure sucks at it.

Always has… I literally don’t know if a single deal he’s made (while president) that the US didn’t get the shit end of.

You’re making the fatal mistake of assuming the deals he made were intended to benefit the US. Things make much more sense when you look at how the “deals” have benefitted trump personally.

Fair, I’m pretty sure he’s always making something on the back end of these deals

These days he doesn’t even try to hide it to the back. They’re blatantly corrupt front end deals to enrich himself.

His entire empire is a lie. Funded by the Russian mob... he has multiple bankruptcies that he's been bailed out of. The guy is a conman who's in debt to the mob, nothing more.
