“What President Trump did today is something he has done over the past decade consistently, and that is, he makes a suggestion that sounds a bit crazy, he doesn’t follow through on it, but he uses it as a starting point for negotiations. He uses it to extract concessions, which is what clearly happened because now we have a temporary ceasefire,” The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman said on Fox News at Night. “And what Xochitl Hinojosa just admitted — and what so many others on the left and the right admitted today — is that they have failed another litmus test: they do not understand Donald Trump or his approach to foreign policy and therefore you can’t take anything they say seriously about Donald Trump.”
