A column appearing in the New York Times in 1984 has resurfaced, in which it discusses real estate mogul Donald Trump’s uncanny ability to engage in successful negotiations, and even openly wonders if he might one day disarm hostile countries as President of the United States.
It’s funny since the Times has now morphed into thinking the once brilliant negotiator is an incompetent clown.
Reality dictates otherwise, with the President engaged in talks to disarm North Korea and bring peace – a once unimaginable concept – to the Korean peninsula. (RELATED: Historic Handshakes Compared: Trump Exudes Strength, Obama Oozed … Something Else).
In the lengthy Times article, Trump is hailed repeatedly by friends and business rivals alike as a master negotiator. (RELATED: After Obama Failed, Trump Finally Brings World Cup to America).
“Our company has given up trying to negotiate costs with him,” the head of a construction company explains. “We just say: ‘Tell us what you want, you’re going to get it anyway.’”
The column then shifts to how this ability might translate on the biggest stage – negotiating with hostile countries as leader of the free world. The country they bring up at that time in Syria, but the task at hand remains the same, and the Times clearly believes he has the ability to become the negotiator-in-chief.
In 1984, the New York Times told us that Donald Trump would be our best president.

“What does it all mean when some wacko over in Syria can end the world with nuclear weapons?” Trump asked when talking about his future plans.
The column continues:
His greatest dream is to personally do something about the problem and, characteristically, Donald Trump thinks he has an answer to nuclear armament: Let him negotiate arms agreements – he who can talk people into selling $100 million properties to him for $13 million. Negotiations is an art, he says and I have a gift for it.
Does he ever.
Donald Trump is a lot of things. Stupid ain’t one of them. Look at what the New York Times said about him in 1984. This is amazing.https://t.co/Fx2G7Q4EPF

While some believed that these were the dreams and optimism of a naive Trump, the newspaper surmises that “through years of making his views known and through supporting candidates who share his views, it could someday happen.”
Fortunately, it did happen. And the United States, along with the rest of the world, is a better place for it.
President Trump has since been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize following a summit with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un.
Trump has “taken a huge and important step in the direction of the disarmament, peace, and reconciliation between North and South Korea,” Norwegian lawmakers wrote in their nomination letter.
Who would have thought that the New York Times of all places called it 34 years ago?
For decades, Trump was seen as a hero for African American workers in New York City, but all of that changed when he decided to run for president. During an event in 1999, the Reverend Jesse Jackson happily praised Trump’s contributions to the black community saying “We need your building skills, your gusto . . . for the people on Wall Street to represent diversity.” Jackson also called Trump a “friend” who “embraced “the under-served communities.” In addition, Jackson also commended Trump for giving opportunities to African Americans in New York: “When we opened this Wall Street project . . . He gave us space at 40 Wall Street, which was to make a statement about our having a presence there.”
How could a man with a long record of helping minorities in New York suddenly be a racist? Oh, that’s right, it’s because he decided to enter politics as a Republican. The allegations against the President are baseless and devoid of any truth, but that hasn’t stopped the left from smearing President Trump as a racist.
He is a wonderful President! The left hates him because he is not a typical politician and he does what he says he will. Also, he is a self made white male, the most horrific animal on earth. LOL

Yes, I’ve been wondering about that. How did Trump, with no evidence ever cited, suddenly morph into every -ist and -phobe in the lexicon? According to the monolithic Left, he’s a fascist, misogynist, racist, homophobe, Islamophobe, and altogether evil incarnate. Seems a trifle exaggerated, but then he shockingly defeated their assured candidate and they’ve been having hysterical vapors ever since. It’s really a sad comment on the state of our political discourse which has descended into bitter acrimony and internecine squabbling among all the groups the Left has so assiduously created with their identity politics. Now, in addition to all the racket about Trump and Kananaugh, we see the lesbians rioting against the transgenders. It’s almost like a comic opera, but it’s difficult to see how it can end well.

That’s all the democrats have is lies and deception as their record of protecting life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is non existent. The democratic party is all about power and control of what the people think, do and believe. The one obstacle they have yet been unable to overcome is our second amendment and if it ever comes to the point we lose that right you will see their true agenda a dictatorship a government of and by itself our Constitution gone as well as our rights. That single right is what is keeping us from becoming Russia under Putin China or the Nazi Germany of the past period. You have to ask yourself am I better off now with president Trump or was I better off with Obama and why?.
Was President Trump a democrat when the NYTIMES wrote this?
They simply don’t get that wishful thinking and voter appeasement of radicals does not trend towards peace no matter which party. They also do not clarify between diplomacy and genuine negotiating , diplomacy exists for its own sake, negotiating gets down to brass tacks and leads to genuine solutions, how undiplomatic.
It is also interesting that Republican Presidents usually have a fortune before they enter office, Democrats amass fortunes from the office once they have left. For a job well done?

President Trump isn’t a racist, it’s the Demorats!

Are you referring to the steel mills and coal mining companies that BO drove into bankruptcy?? Entire industrial sectors that BO magically moved overseas?? SUCH A WISE LEADER —NOT!!
The America that we know and LOVE would not have survived another BO term, much less the “reign” of HRC!!!! MAGA, Trump!!!
Don’t give him any credit! Trump keeps starting fights and goes away letting things unfinished. I’m still waiting for Comrade Trump to re-open steel mills in places like Pittsburgh and Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
Mrs.F posting: This is amazing.
He is a real example in his walk and in the good he has done and still doing. People need to get rid of envy, jealousy, greed and see the real man Trump really is. The media in their envy and people mirroring their own faults has portrayed him out to be something it appears they are and how really they would like to be as successful and doing good things this man is doing. Go Trump! God bless you.

Donald John Trump is an enigma and will go down in history as one of the truly great leaders this country has produced…. The Socialists, leftists and Communists have no answer for this man. They are completely without answers or even effective tactics. He is playing 3D chess while they are playing checkers. “The buck stops here”, President Truman once famously said. President Trump lives that mantra every single day……………………

Yes, I saw a clip of him om Oprah (when they were friends & he was a Democrat) & his message was exactly what he brought to the American public in his champaign & now is keeping those promises.
Oprah should be happy- she had him 1st! Back then, she didn’t disagree with him. How times change.
Didn’t he tell Oprah the same once and even started again, but strategically withdrew later in deference to another (R)? His book is an amazing ‘primer’!
Semper Fi . . .!
