    Close enough. He was actually taken on as a favour to Peter Thiel. So he’s exactly as competent as you’d expect the personal toady of a billionaire libertarian tech bro to be.

      I does boggle the mind that they could find someone even less competent than Trump, but he isn’t even remotely likeable, either. Every time I hear him speak, I cringe in second-hand embarrassment at his flailing attempts at trying to back up Trumps lies, but only briefly before I’m yelling at my screen for him to shut the fuck up.

      I reckon they send him in when they want negotiations to fail. They surely can’t expect him to know what he’s doing.
