Part 7/12:
A significant part of the conversation focuses on Trump’s negotiation style, especially concerning upcoming diplomatic meetings, notably with Vladimir Putin. Kelly emphasizes that Trump’s approach is rooted in his extensive experience as a dealmaker. His confidence in quick judgment—knowing within two minutes whether an agreement is achievable—is a hallmark of his style.
In discussions about Ukraine and Russia, Kelly suggests Trump is aware of Putin's likely bluffing tactics. She believes Trump will scrutinize Putin’s tone and messaging, listening carefully for any signs of sincerity or deception. Trump’s inclination to cut through diplomatic protocol and get straight to the deal makes him a formidable negotiator.
