The Art of the Deal, Trump & Iran
Donald Trump says many things, often contradicting himself, one feels usually without being aware he has done. He has claimed on 23rd March that there was a deal to be done between the US and Iran. Tehran which obviously follows TruthSocial closely (while restricting the interwebs in Iran itself) have said this is ‘fake news’. On 26th March Trump claimed that Iran was ‘begging’ for a deal, which raises the question of who is actually doing the begging here..
Donald Trump’s image is all about being successful in business (quite the reverse as the record shows) and being a brilliant deal maker.
Indeed Donald Trump wrote the Art of the Deal, or rather he didn’t. It was in fact written by Tony Schwarz who suggested the idea so Trump could fulfil a contact he had signed. As Daniel Finkelstein noted in the Times (October 25), Trump couldn’t write a book, he didn’t even read them.
For Trump the art of the deal is about the process of doing the deal. How it works out is not so important. There’s always another deal to be done.
