Donnie "Short Fingers" Debate and Deal-Making Skill

For such a "great" deal-maker, Trump really seems to suck at debating...and I think I know why.

His experience of "debating" is sitting around a table with 15 people that kiss his ass. His "deal-making" seems to be limited to walking into a conference room with 8 lawyers in $5K suits and telling the "Mom and Pop", $100K a year Cabinet Installers that they either take what he gives them or face millions in court costs to sue the bastard.

He's never had to make a deal on anywhere close to equal footing.

In fact, I would bet that the only time in his fucking life that he was ever challenged was at the Correspondent's Dinner where President Obama handed him his ass.

His entire candidacy is payback for that perceived slight, and the Republican Party is so fucking damaged goods, that he knew it was ripe for a hostile takeover.

This man is the most dangerous person I have ever imagined occupying the White House, and I've been on this earth since 1960

why do so many of his deals end up in civil court? Wouldn't a good deal resolve without the need for outside arbitration?
