    I don’t think people have caught onto the fact that you should never give into Trump’s demands… full stop.

    The assumption that what you give to him is transactional and will make him stop doesn’t apply.

    Giving in just shows you perceive your position as weak and he will ask for more or destroy you later.

    Look at all the Broadcast networks that settled lawsuits and paid him off, look at Columbia university giving into his demands around student protests.

    The list goes on and on with the same result you give in and he will ask for more or still seek to destroy you later. Giving in just makes him stronger.

      It’s bully logic.

      No matter how much you give him it’s never enough, because it isn’t about the stuff, it’s about the domination, that’s literally all that matters.
