>>513138873 (OP)It's what Trump does. It doesn't matter to him that it's wrong to do it this way because right and wrong, to him, are concepts for "suckers." He did the same thing in Afghanistan -- "negotiate" with the Taliban without the Afghan government present, essentially surrender their country for them without their knowledge, then claim victory. It's beating a dead horse at this point, but he really is a lot like a dumber, more narcissistic Putin. His affinity for Putin is that Putin exemplifies a kind of callous, amoral politics of power to which he aspires.
