I will make the first offer, if it is nonnegotiable. Once trump admitted everything is negotiable, it stopped being no nuclear weapons, and no control over The Strait of Hormuz. Those became negotiable.
Going back to his early real estate days if Trump felt he had a power imbalance over his contractors or vendors his main negotiation tactic was to threaten to tear up the contract and threaten to force long suits.
he learned that many companies will just settle in advance to avoid the lawsuit costs, win or lose, even though they were right. To a person who is naturally a bully that is just emboldens them.
Now with the power of the US govt behind him he has reached his bullying peak. it is all threats and bluster whether it be to US companies, US citizens or Allies or enemies. no real negotiations. Just threats and bluster and looking for who will cave.
