          Yes, because now you’re emboldening him. Instead of getting full pushback from him acting like a toddler, they are making him feel like he won.

          Tell me what happens when you make someone feel like they won something by acting like a toddler? They certainly won’t stop acting like one, let me tell you that.

              You seem to be ignoring my points and repeating the same arguments that I’ve already addressed. Not a big surprise you think this is going to stop Trump when you act like you can’t read.

                  The problem is that you’re thinking like a sane person, while Trump isn’t. Just the fact that people took his toddler tantrum seriously enough to even pretend like they are compromising emboldens him. We’ve seen this happen how many times now and it only made things worse.

                  You talked about start position as if that matters to Trump. Remember when Canada backed down on their digital service tax act? In reality, it’s simply a return to status quo, but to this insane administration, they consider it a “win” to make Canada compromise to a crazy situation Trump initiated.

                  Being so happy that Trump didn’t get what he pretended to want is just you being tricked by his flood the zone tactic. This type of toddler decisions should have just been completely shut down without any need for discussion. I don’t know why you’re happy that it was entertained for even a moment.

          He’s just going to be building more bases and infrastructure to support them. Now the economy becomes dependent on the USA. Now you’re fucked.

      It’s not gonna make him shut up. Instead, it’ll just encourage him to ask for more outrageous things next time.
