text: The primary Trump negotiation tactic appears to be the imposition of emotional distress upon the public, without regard to cost, in terms of suffering.  Moving the embassy to Jerusalem really does nothing more than provoke one side, and commit the other to risk, with the US gaining nothing but stress and exposure to further risk and probable loss of life in doing so.   Same with healthcare reform.  Same with tax reform.  Same with climate change policy.  And it appears the President loves the attention, good and bad, negative and positve, he gets from the distress and chaos that ensues.  This is no way to live.  Our lives are less rich today than they were four months ago.   On the left, there is anger but also confusion. On the right, a wierd mixture of glee, uncertainty and confusion.  On both sides, fear. Admit it.  Regardless of your side. We are simply servants and audience to macabre threats issued for the entertainment of one person's off kilter needs.  How did it come to this?
