      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.

      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.
