What happened today in the #WhiteHouse #OvalOffice is #Trump's negotiating style.

We've seen it before: in the first meeting he throws a tantrum, makes false accusations, wrong-foots them, leaves them feeling all is lost. He softens them up.

Then, in the next meeting, they are (usually) so desperate for a deal that he gets the outcome that he wants.

And Trump is right, you learn a lot when there's strong emotion.

Shocking; not surprising.

#Zelensky should've been warned (assuming he wasn't)
