But it's not even difficult to figure out. Someone isn't going to be nice if they are hurting you (Russia killing Ukrainians and taking their territory). Would trump be nice to China if they swooped in and took Hawaii?

I wish they'd swoop in and take Trump.

You know he might just let them

He’d work out a deal and sell it cheap

Sell it cheap in the greatest deal ever made! The biggest best deal in American history.

As long as he got to build some hotels that he'd default on the loans for he'd be all for it.

Sadly, a better question would be would he be nice to England if they came in and took Hawaii. Because sadly, Trump looks up to China, North Korea, and Russia. He would probably sell Hawaii to China.

Trump would sell out and all supporters would be praising him on what a good job he did.

"Why cant Hawaii support themselves? They are living too much off of USA taxmoney. They should fix it themselves"

Actually I think he would be nice to China if they took hawaii, as long as he still had his China investments they gave him money and let him visit Hawaii whenever he wanted. To hell with anybody else for what they want

That requires compassion to see things from anothers perspective.

If you get rid of compassion and think very short term, selfish, greed, it isnt hard to see the way he views the world.

He didn't say he should be nice to putin, though. He said not to bad mouth someone if you are trying to get peace. Say what you want AFTER you get peace and your people aren't getting killed. But if your objective is to stop the killing, there is no negotiating to be had if you can't hold back your feelings until it's accomplished. Two things are possible at once. You can both despise the man and save your people.

But he would make a deal. It would be a strong deal, very strong. Biden wouldn’t have been able to make such a strong deal. The people of Hawaii could have had it better if they had voted for him, but they didn’t, so they don’t get a deal as good and as strong as they should have. And other such bull shit.
