    Welcome to the art of negotiation. No one who has ever done business is
    shocked by this.

    Pro tip! If you want to figure out Trumps plan, look at what he does, not
    at what he says.

    When someone upsets the apple cart, they may be doing it for self-gains...there's the problem.

    Consumers and some businesses can take a hit without a legit reason.

    This goes for every politician, regardless of color. The key issue when
    voting is to see which politicians personal gain you stand to benefit most from.

    There are no saints in politics, regardless of color.
