For heaven’s sake, Mr. President, don’t bluff then fold at first go around. You did that with Vladamir Putin on Ukraine, then you turned around and did it with President Xi of China about this tariff business. Live up to that backbone you’re so proud of, otherwise we are all headed for hell in handbasket.

If you’re going to bluff, don’t come out pounding your chest, because that’s a sheer giveaway that you’re dealing from a far weaker position than your opponent.

But…why don’t you already know that? Given that your book “The Art of the Deal” was a best seller in 1987, assuming that you did indeed write it.

I would suggest that you re-read your book or start learning to play real, adult poker. Better yet — just stop playing.
