Business acumen and the art of a deal

So much for Trump's self-proclaimed business acumen; just more puffery.

He hasn't been able to get a good deal with China, or any deal with North Korea or Iran.

He has been wasting tax dollars on covid-19 testing whenever they come back too late to be of any value in tracing and containing the infection. He could easily have specified a target turnaround time after which the private labs wouldn't get paid, but apparently a deal of that kind - one with contingency - that was too complicated.

And he has been unable to get any deal with Democrats over the latest round of economic safety net and for covid-19.
