More nonsense.

If the countries perceive it as bullying, it is bullying.

And when he threatens to invade Canada, or break them economically, is that negotiating?

You're confusing "bullying" with "negotiating".

"
In negotiations, the other guy isn't your friend. His job is to squeeze you 'til you bleed. Not to be a nice guy.

No, you're the one confusing that.

By definition, bullying is a power play and negotiation is collaborative. There's noting collaborative about what Trump is doing, not remotely.
