He saved about 900 jobs while losing 1100 in the process with all the leverage in the world (or country) behind him. To me that's not great negotiation. This wasn't even a big number, lol 2000 jobs is nothing. If this is the best he can do in this situation, what's he's going to accomplish with little/no leverage? 10% of jobs saved instead of 45%?
Carrier was a very easy case, they are deeply tied to the US gov't. This is like picking a fight with the skinniest/weakest looking kid and still getting a bloody nose out of it. What are you going to do when you have to actually someone bigger?
Actually a "pay for peace" deal with Iran is much more preferable than the alternative. You want to go fight on the front lines in a war in Iran? Or send your son/daughter to do so? Didn't think so. Easy to war hawk when someone else is the one who's going to have to potentially actually fight.
