Impulse control gets in way of "negotiating"

Trump seldom has an advantage to begin with because he has such weak impulse control. When he was negotiating the purchase of what became the Trump Taj Mahal, the seller, Merv Griffin, has said Trump might as well have had a flashing sign on his forehead saying URGENT! He was that anxious to close a deal. So of course he ended up paying too much.


From Vanity Fair article

He said okay to the summit on impulse with no advice from his own people or from allies in the region. Then he made the cancellation and the on-again decisions the same way. One inner voice says, 'You'll get a shiny prize.' Then there are Bolton and Pompeo telling him KJU will not give him a good deal. Those two thoughts fight it out in his childish mind and whichever ends up on top
