The Washington Examiner is at it again, folks – launching another pathetic attack on President Trump's winning negotiation strategy just as he's delivering victory after victory for the American people. In a desperate hit piece, the establishment rag claims Trump's "maximalist approach" amounts to "crying wolf," completely ignoring the undeniable results this strategy has produced.
What the fake news media calls "crying wolf," real Americans recognize as the Art of the Deal in action. Trump didn't accidentally stumble into the presidency twice – he used these exact same tactics to build a business empire, secure the 2024 election in a landslide, and now he's using them to restore America's strength on the world stage.
"Tom Cochran, a Democratic strategist" is quoted in the piece – because nothing says "objective journalism" like getting your analysis from partisan Democrat operatives, right?
Here's what the Washington Examiner conveniently ignores: Trump's "maximalist approach" has already secured massive wins in his second term. Border crossings are plummeting as cartels fear his deportation promises. Foreign leaders are scrambling to cut deals before facing his tariff threats. The stock market is soaring because investors know Trump means business.
The establishment media can't stand that Trump refuses to play by their rigged rules. They want him to negotiate like every other politician – make weak opening offers, compromise away America's interests, and settle for scraps. That's exactly how we got into this mess in the first place.
Why They're Really Afraid
The real reason outlets like the Washington Examiner are panicking is simple: Trump's strategy works. When you start from a position of strength and aren't afraid to walk away from bad deals, you get better results. It's basic negotiation 101, but it terrifies the globalist establishment who profit from America's weakness.
Every time Trump makes a bold opening move, the legacy media screams about "diminishing returns" and "losing credibility." Then Trump delivers exactly what he promised, and these same outlets quietly move on to their next manufactured controversy.
Patriots, don't let the fake news gaslight you. Trump's winning, America's winning, and the establishment knows it. That's why they're working overtime to convince you otherwise.
