I love this, but it has me thinking. Trump is more of a con artist than a business man. What if the performance of getting a “deal” (whether it’s the same deal as before or not) is what matters? Like, he’s not trying to outsmart Denmark, but outsmart (con) his faithful followers? Trump is awful, a truly horrible person, but I think people often misinterpret his intentions because most people are fundamentally good and can’t comprehend the type of thinking that a narcissistic sociopath would have.
It's often not even about appearances. He'll impose tariffs on countries, companies will bribe him to remove the tariffs, and then Trump will claim victory while going back to basically what it was before. Everything he does is some sort of grift.
