Sorry for pulling a Jew on you... But you answering my question negated the premise of yours. If Calling him a different name wouldn't have changed anything, then what are you asking?
Did his so-called "negotiating tactic" as some call it work with the covid-19 situation? The answer is no. I would say it just him being an idiot and not any so-called "negotiating tactic".
On one hand you hear over and over don't pay attention to what he says. Translation: words don't matter.
Then on the other hand some no name idiot says something and everyone is in uproar to have it taken down.
Either words matter or they don't!!!
