It makes me laugh how ignorant of negotiation tactics McAdams is. "Negotiation" in its usual forms has failed for half of the 20th Century and a quarter of this century. Trumps latest proposition is a gambit against the Gazan population of terrorists and supporters, and the surrounding Arab nations. Trump knows that any such investment in Gaza would perpetuate terrorism and lead to destruction of anything he would build. No, this is a strong message, telling the Gazans "either you change, or I'll remove any of your current options". Trump is a seasoned negotiator with, amongst others - NYC construction contractors, unions and the mob. These Gazan thugs are not fundamentally different in negotiation mindset.
