Trump is all about threats and transactions. If you do X, I'll do Y, which is bad. Between the carrot and the stick, he's all stick and no carrot. His foreign policy and trade policy are excellent examples of this. Instead of negotiating better deals, he backs out of or threatens to abandon current deals in order to coerce the other side into negotiating on his terms. Sometimes it's successful, but it leaves a lot of broken agreements in its place, taking us backwards instead of forwards. Trump's response to the Kashoggi affair is a case in point. He has no response to Saudi Arabia's heinous behavior because his usual playbook of sanctions and threats would hurt the U.S. as much as it hurts them. So instead he has no response. His foreign policy is a joke. And the failure of his method is playing out in North Korea as well, where sanctions and threats have no effect, and he's being outplayed on the negotiation front.
