Can any one explain to me why Trump believes his business deals can be equated with

diplomacy among and between sovereign countries? How fucking ignorant is this bombastic narcissistic racist ugly American?

Jinal's clock was correct twice for once - Trump is a narcissistic egomaniac - but he's much worse than that.

both business deals and diplomacy involve furthering your best interests. In business deals it is about money and profit. In diplomacy it is about power, prestige, economic advantage and other self interests of the parties involved. Both involve negotiation and compromise, give and take. The goal of both is to advance yourself to a better position according to your interests.

Trump obviously believes he is good at this.
