2. Trump is a terrible negotiator

Trump's comment yesterday that he would talk to anyone effectively cut the knees out of any domestic opposition to the current regime. So Trump simultaneously proved he can't be trusted, but also bid against himself by offering to talk because now the domestic opposition is likely to stand down. Trump gave up a key negotiating point in return for nothing. He really just sucks.
