President Trump tells people
he keeps the world guessing with his wild unpredictability. But those
who work most closely with him say he's a one-trick pony in
negotiations.
The trick:
Threaten the outrageous, ratchet up the tension, amplify it with tweets
and taunts, and then compromise on fairly conventional middle ground.
“His ultimate gamble is:
'You don’t have as big of stones as I do,'" a source close to Trump
told me. "'You’re going to feel too uncomfortable where I go. The stakes
are too high. This is too far outside your comfort zone.'"
