## 01 How Deals Are Made

### He who has the gold makes the rules.

Walk in knowing who holds the scarce thing. Then talk. Manners are not the golden rule. Inventory is.

> Remember the golden rule of negotiating: He who has the gold makes the rules.

### Know when to walk away from the table.

Walk-away power is the whole game. If you need the deal more than they do, you will pay for that need in the last ten minutes.

### The worst thing you can do in a deal is seem desperate.

Hunger shows. The other side prices it. Stay able to leave and the terms move toward you.

> “The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it.” - The Art of The Deal.

### The best deals are the ones you walk away from.

Leave. Then they come back with better terms. Walking away is not the end of the negotiation. It is a move inside it.

> Negotiations 101: The best deals you can make are the ones you walk away from...and then get them with better terms.

### You cannot con people for long.

Deliver the goods. The brand is a promise with a receipt. Catch-on is the market's immune system.

> “You can’t con people, at least not for long. If you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.” - The Art of The Deal

Source: @realDonaldTrump · You cannot con people for long. · 2012-12 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/278255308009267200

### Lose the battle. Win the war.

A concession is not a tombstone. It is a path you had not seen. Keep the war in view.

> “Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war." The Art of The Deal

### Deals are the art form.

Prefer big ones. The medium is the table. The canvas is the term sheet.

> “Deals are my art form. I like making deals, preferably big deals.” - The Art of The Deal

### There is absolutely no need to rush when the clock pays you.

If tariffs are already collecting, delay is a position. The other side feels time. You feel cashflow.

> Talks with China continue in a very congenial manner - there is absolutely no need to rush - as Tariffs are NOW being paid to the United States by China of 25% on 250 Billion Dollars worth of goods & products. Some of the Tariffs might be removed if and when a deal is signed, but they would only be reduced or omitted if and when we do the transaction. Big progress being made!

### You are under no pressure. They are.

State the scoreboard before anyone sits down. If you need the meeting, they already won.

> The Wall Street Journal has it wrong, we are under no pressure to make a deal with China, they are under pressure to make a deal with us. Our markets are surging, theirs are collapsing. We will soon be taking in Billions in Tariffs & making products at home. If we meet, we meet?

Source: @realDonaldTrump · You are under no pressure. They are. · 2018-09 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1040242677877551104

### Do not openly celebrate a deal that is not done.

Premature victory laps show the other side you already spent the win. Stay flat until the ink is dry.

> The reason great dealmakers do not OPENLY celebrate a deal, especially one that is not complete, is that it shows weakness to the other side

## 02 Leverage

### Deal from strength. Leverage is the strength.

The best thing you can do is not be the one who needs it. Leverage is not a vibe. It is the thing they cannot do without you.

> "The best thing you can do is deal from strength, and leverage is the biggest strength you have.” - THE ART OF THE DEAL

Source: @realDonaldTrump · Deal from strength. Leverage is the strength. · 2012-11 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/273540863580323840

### Leverage is the biggest strength you have.

Cut, cap, and balance is a budget line. The sentence under it is older. Come to the table holding something.

> THe Art of the Deal--"The best thing you can do is deal from strength, and leverage is the biggest strength you have." CUT, CAP and BALANCE.

Source: @realDonaldTrump · Leverage is the biggest strength you have. · 2011-07 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/89005438619758592

### Win either way.

A fair deal is one outcome. Billions in tariffs is the other. Design the move so refusal still pays you.

> ....Tariffs will make our country much richer than it is today. Only fools would disagree. We are using them to negotiate fair trade deals and, if countries are still unwilling to negotiate, they will pay us vast sums of money in the form of Tariffs. We win either way......

Source: @realDonaldTrump · Win either way. · 2018-08 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1025833273191264256

### Make the product here or pay to sell here.

Access to the American customer is the asset. Lowest taxes if you plant the factory. A tariff if you do not.

> My message to every business in the world is very simple. Come make your product in America, and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth. But if you don't make your product in America, you will have to pay a tariff.

Source: @POTUS · Make the product here or pay to sell here. · 2025-01 · https://x.com/POTUS/status/1882491511100850338

### Reciprocal means no more, no less.

Charge what they charge. VAT counts. Transshipment counts. If they want the number down, they cut theirs first.

> On Trade, I have decided, for purposes of Fairness, that I will charge a RECIPROCAL Tariff meaning, whatever Countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them - No more, no less!

Source: @realDonaldTrump · Reciprocal means no more, no less. · 2025-02 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1891572283161944433

### Name the spread out loud.

They charge 25 percent. You charge 2.5. Once the room hears the two numbers, the lecture on free trade has to fight the numbers first.

> When a car is sent to the United States from China, there is a Tariff to be paid of 2 1/2%. When a car is sent to China from the United States, there is a Tariff to be paid of 25%. Does that sound like free or fair trade. No, it sounds like STUPID TRADE - going on for years!

Source: @realDonaldTrump · Name the spread out loud. · 2018-04 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/983284198046826496

### Put the tariff on the calendar. Take it off when they move.

The threat needs a Monday. Mexico signed. The tariffs scheduled for Monday were indefinitely suspended.

> I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico. The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended.

Source: @realDonaldTrump · Put the tariff on the calendar. Take it off when they move. · 2019-06 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1137155056044826626

### Always get even.

In business, people who screw you are teaching the room. If the room sees you eat it, the room will feed you more of it.

> “Always get even. When you are in business, you need to get even with people who screw you.” - Think Big

Source: @realDonaldTrump · Always get even. · 2013-05 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/330325949847597056

## 03 Think Big

### Think big. Stay focused. Be passionate. Don’t ever give up.

Four verbs. Scale is a decision. Focus is a diet. Passion is fuel. Giving up is the only actual failure.

> Think big. Stay focused. Be passionate. Don’t ever give up

Source: @realDonaldTrump · Think big. Stay focused. Be passionate. Don’t ever give up. · 2014-08 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/496740199658188800

### If you are going to be thinking anyway, think big.

The cost of the thought is the same. The picture is the difference. Small thinking is a habit, not a circumstance.

Source: @realDonaldTrump · If you are going to be thinking anyway, think big. · 2012-12 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/276692448661606401

### Every big thinker started as a nobody.

Think big and you leave the majority on contact. The distinction is not talent. It is the size of the picture you are willing to hold.

> “Every big thinker has had to start as a nobody. Just think big & that immediately distinguishes you from the majority.” - Think Big

Source: @realDonaldTrump · Every big thinker started as a nobody. · 2014-08 · https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/505413974083796992

### What you dream about is what you will do.

### Keep testing your limits. Never become complacent.

Complacency is how a streak dies. Always think big is not a mood. It is a refusal to live inside last year's number.

## 04 Protect the Downside

### Protect the downside and the upside will take care of itself.

First question is not how big it can get. First question is how you survive if it goes to zero.

## 05 Instinct

### Instinct has a lot to do with timing.

Be patient. Wait for your instincts to tell you the best time to move. Rushing is how you pay retail for a decision.

## 47 China Virus

### Call it the China Virus.

The name is the origin story. They will fight the name because the name is the case.

> $2000 for our great people, not $600! They have suffered enough from the China Virus!!!

### Hydroxychloroquine. Say the unallowed drug.

The FDA moved mountains. You will be mocked. Post the stack anyway. Forbidden medicine is a test of who owns the mike.

> HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You!

### The lockdown can cost more than the virus.

Democrat states ruined lives. Florida stayed open. Publish the split screen.

> The lockdowns in Democrat run states are absolutely ruining the lives of so many people - Far more than the damage that would be caused by the China Virus.

### The dope in China will blame everyone else.

Correct the record in one line. Incompetence of China, and nothing else.

> Some wacko in China just released a statement blaming everybody other than China for the Virus which has now killed hundreds of thousands of people. Please explain to this dope that it was the “incompetence of China”, and nothing else, that did this.
