He has no understanding of the Chinese. He lost face big time doing that. Idiot - itâs instructions for how not to make a good deal.

How many discussions did all of us posting here have in the last week to keep some project on track? And here we have a press conference about trade negotiations between the worldâs two largest economies and the president and his trade representative are literally bickering about what a term theyâre using means. They havenât discussed even the most basic things about the situation. Trumpâs winging it like a middle-schooler doing a book report for a book he hasnât read.

I always (privately) counsel my employees to NEVER argue in front of guests.
It is unseemly and casts doubt on the organizationâs cohesion.

Definitely many fewer times than how often everyone else has characterized him as a pure unadulterated incarnation of evil.

Trumpâs always been a little weak on that âunderstandingâ stuff.

Another random memo of Trump not understanding.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) is a type of agreement between two (bilateral) or more (multilateral) parties. It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended common line of action. It is often used either in cases where parties do not imply a legal commitment or in situations where the parties cannot create a legally enforceable agreement.
Trump hears âmemorandumâ and thinks that it must be âjust a memoâ but as it says above itâs an agreement and in some cases the most formal agreement possible.
Itâs like a combination of Emily Litella and a 70 year old Queens retiree in the Oval Office yelling at the world as if itâs a giant TV.

Bloc would hit $23 billion of U.S. goods in case of car duties
Tariff threat made in parellel to push for free-trade accord
Caterpillar Inc. trucks, Xerox Corp. machines and Samsonite International SA luggage are among U.S. goods that would face retaliatory European Union tariffs should President Donald Trump follow through on a threat to impose automotive duties against the bloc, according to a senior EU official.
The person commented Friday on the condition of anonymity because the tit-for-tat list drawn up by the European Commission, the EUâs executive arm in Brussels, is still a confidential draft

âI donât like MOUs because they donât mean anything,â Trump saidâŚ
Thousands of contractors will attest to the fact that Contracts donât mean anything to Trump, either.

Thatâs why his base relates to him. Arguably, he would not have gained the presidency without this trait, which says as much about us (not us as in us here, but as collective whole) as a nation as it does about him.
ETA. Some states still donât get it.
