I dont know. I guess that's one strategy. Im also not a billionaire and leader of the free world. So I can only assume there is some merit in this particular negotiation style if it landed him where he is.

That's a bit of an appeal to authority, no? It might have given results but it wasn't without cost, is it net-positive overall?

This style doesn't build bridges, it's purely adversarial, diplomacy requires building bridges for long-term sustainability of relations.
