Ah, the art of the deal. When I make an offer on a house, my opening offer is always one dollar. Works like a charm.I can see here that most of you have never staked out a bargaining position before. If you start out with the absurd (taking the canal back) you end up with lower prices and less Chinese interference with the Panamanians. Trump knows exactly what he is doing, all of you whiny leftists, on the other hand are idiots.
