White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Friday that President Donald Trump still believes it will be “easy” to win a trade war with China because he is the world’s greatest negotiator.

When asked by ABC News’ Jon Karl about whether he was still confident about his ability to beat China in a trade war, Sanders said he “absolutely” was because “if he is in charge of those negotiations… he’s the best negotiator at the table.”

Despite his past boasts of his “deal-making” skills, Trump so far has been unable to get a Congress that is run by his own party to fully fund a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, which was his single biggest campaign promise.

Trump’s threats to slap heavy tariffs on China have roiled global financial markets for the last week, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Friday was down by more than 600 points at the time of Sanders’ press conference.

1. trump is a horrible negotiator

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. He knows two things; neither apply to China: bullying weaker counterparts & duping gullible people.

[Gothmog]

7. I negotiate for a living and I agree with your analysis

[TranssexualKaren]

14. Good one!!!

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Once again,you can not fix Stupid.

[BlueMTexpat]

3. The only thing that

Trump is capable of being is a pathetic, reeking, whiny, bullying POS!

And we are ALL the worse for that.

[Vinca]

4. I think Trump is manipulating the stock market - nothing to do with trade.

Once a con, always a con.

[louis-t]

5. Terrible negotiator, terrible businessman

terrible person, terrible "president", terrible speaker, terrible liar...

[muriel_volestrangler]

8. It is better if the president is a con-artist who knows his limitations, or is delusional?

Hard to say.

11. How can she say that without at least snickering a bit?

Unless she is off in fantasy land with him.

[Paladin]

12. trump is the kind of negotiator you PRAY will turn up across the table from you.

Mentally unstable, totally self-centered and self-worshipping, vainglorious, short-tempered, grade school-level language skills, multiple "tells" which give away his secrets a mile in advance. I spent the better part of my life negotiating things---I was good at it, and I know what a loser looks like.

[loveandlight]

13. what is her tell when she knows she's telling complete bs

I mean most of what she says is bs, but sometimes it is just plain laughable. When Kellyanne used to say things she knew were beyond belief you could tell even she didn't believe them. The corners of her mouth would turn up a bit, just the slightest hint of a smirk. Does Sanders do that? She cannot possibly believe the bs she puts out every day.

15. So a corrupt bunch of assholes in the white house sitting at some convention

speaking to fucking Russian spies, does not , let me emphasize this, and "does not" make that little phone call to the FBI, and this twit goes out onto a platform and says that this corrupt bunch of assholes is the best negotiators....................they more than likely drink the flavored Kool-Aid everyday, there are one conviction, umpteen indictments , ..............................


Hey Sarah, how does that NDA negotiation going for your sexual predator president, ....................


November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

[keepleft101]

16. I will say this

She might be the best hire Trump has. She is really good at dodging questions - answering with out answering and keeping a straight face when she knows her answers are all BS. Trump couldnt have found a better person for that job.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

17. Talk about a SCARY show......

I cannot bear to watch.

[joshdawg]

18. trump lies and huckleberry swears to it.

Geez, what a pair to draw to.

[iluvtennis]

19. Lies, Lies, and more Lies.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

20. About those negotiating skills --

[Cold War Spook]

21. Didn't Trump say that we had already lost?

Does she ever talk to Trump?

[GusBob]

22. How many failed businesses? How many bankruptcies?

He is going to fail again, and bankrupt farmers

[riversedge]

23. Trump is the best bully at the table.

[BobTheSubgenius]

24. That would be funny, if it wasn't so tragically wrong.

And sickening. And mendacious. And grandiloquent. And cloyingly toady.

In fact, it's not that funny after all...except to those of us with a very grim sense of humour.

Somehow, SHS has shot ahead of her father in the nails-on-a-blackboard, stupid-and-dishonest-to-the-point-of-incredulity sweepstakes...and he had decades of head start. She is in a class of her own.
