Regarding the incredible skill Trump demonstrated meeting with Pelosi and Schumer. (Sarcasm ahead)

Some DU members are belittling Trump's considerable skill as a negotiator.

They point to Trump pounding the table and walking out as an example of Trump's inability.

Silly DU posters!!

Trump is so skillful, so intelligent, so incredible, that he can play both the good cop and the bad cop.

Today was the bad cop routine, where Trump pounded the table and walked out.

Tomorrow, he will be the reasonable good cop as he says he is willing to negotiate as long as Pelosi and Schumer capitulate to his demands.

And the red hat brigade will applaud his willingness to compromise.

read the fart of the deal. Being late to meetings, pounding the table and walking out of the room are all negotiating tactics he uses. They are playing trump like a fine tuned fiddle.
