Yeah, could be, but then again, Trump has publically stated several times that his negotiation tactic is to ask for lot more than he actually wants so he can then “settle” and get what he actually wanted.
Yes, that’s a very very basic negotiation strategy, anyone who has even heard of a car being sold knows that super basic thing.
However the Greenland situation is more like going to Walmart and demanding they give you a PS5 for free, and then Walmart saying “you can have it for $599” and then declaring “victory” because you never expected it for free, but you got the price you wanted. Except $599 is the list price and you didn’t have to every make a stink about wanting it for free.
Trump was never that ‘great’ at this sort of thing, but his old age has eroded his ability to have any sort of filter that would facilitate even trying to play things close to the vest. What he says is what he thinks, more plainly than ever.
That’s like, a basic negotiating technique known by most for…ever? Except for Democrats, of course, they begin negotiations by conceding everything they actually want if you’ll just give them half of what they want.
