Nobody skilled in negotiation goes in expecting to get what they want in the first proposal. You know that, counselor. So what you do is go in with a maximalist, ridiculous request that you know they'll say no to...thus when you ask for thing you really want you're not making that your top offer.
Come on now... I'm going to kill you and take all your stuff isn't really an opening negotiating position. It is just crazy talk.

The Danish have said... "Greenland is not for sale, and will never be for sale. It is not up to the US to decide what will happen, it is up to us. It's a Trump stunt, it is what he has done many times before. The US is showing in a disrespectful way that they would like to be buying or controlling Greenland...

It doesn't sound like Trump is on the road to success.
