On the one hand this is threatening and scary. On the other hand, this is Trump's way of declaring opening position on a new trade agreement. He's scrapping the old one he made.

Why would we waste time with a new agreement in the next 4 years when it won't be worth the paper it's printed on?

I don't get why more people don't understand this. He's just setting the tone for negotiations. He's playing hardball, even with his closest allies...

He's doing what his Russian oligarch owners are paying him to do.

He's literally getting money from Russian oligarchs who are controlled by Putin.

I don't get why more people don't understand this.

He's not negotiating, he's helping to destroy the country from within for his own personal gain.

This has been the plan since Russia started losing the Cold War. Trump was the first time a Russian asset reached the presidency.

Anyone who has been paying attention understands that trumps idea of negotiation is to get everything and give nothing.

He doesn't operate on the idea of mutually beneficial outcomes. The only way he understands him winning is to make everyone else lose.
