In reply to the discussion: Ed Norton 🧵: I'm no political pundit but I grew up w a dad who was a federal prosecutor & he taught [View all]Trump has been using the same cheesy intimidating tactics his entire career, but what worked in the real estate business isn't necessarily going to work on a bigger stage. Though I'm surprised it has worked as well as it did with republican politicians across the board. I guess they are weaker and more vulnerable than I could have possibly imagined.
Trump likes to brag about what a brilliant deal-maker and businessman he is, but the truth is he is just incredibly outrageous and disruptive, as well as threatening. Imagine being so obnoxious and chaotic, that people will pay to make you go away.

+1. I wonder if Trump will threaten to start a war, that Biden has to handle, for such consessions.

Dead center shot. He called it tRump is stalling to get a deal and at least destroy the evidence.
