00:01:40,560 –> 00:01:43,219
that’s the issue I think it’s the style
in which President Trump prefers to

102
00:01:43,219 –> 00:01:43,229
in which President Trump prefers to

103
00:01:43,229 –> 00:01:45,740
in which President Trump prefers to
operate and that’s the negotiation style

104
00:01:45,740 –> 00:01:45,750
operate and that’s the negotiation style
