发帖数: 61690 | 1 President Donald Trump has put Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross out to pasture.
Wilbur has lost his step. Actually, he’s probably lost a lot of steps.
— President Trump, shaking his head in resignation, to one of our sources
One problem: Ross’s efforts to wheel and deal with the Chinese have left
the president unimpressed. Another problem: He keeps falling asleep in
meetings.
Early in Trump’s presidency, Ross was his go-to negotiator, helming the
administration’s trade talks with the Chinese. After a few months, though,
Trump concluded he was doing a terrible job.
In a series of Oval Office meetings about six months into his presidency,
Trump eviscerated Ross, telling him he’d screwed up, and badly.
“These trade deals, they’re terrible,” Trump said, according to a source
in the room for one of the meetings. “Your understanding of trade is
terrible. Your deals are no good. No good.”
Trump told Ross he didn’t trust him to negotiate anymore. Ross had tried in
the early months of the administration, before Robert Lighthizer was
confirmed as the U.S. Trade Representative, to take the lead on several
crucial trade conversations. Once Lighthizer arrived there was a tussle for
control over several issues. But after Ross botched — in Trump's eyes —
his dealings with China, he decided Lighthizer would be the lead negotiator
on all trade issues.
During this period, Trump humiliated Ross in front of his colleagues, per
three sources, and questioned his intelligence and competence.
The Financial Times reported in August that Trump rejected a China steel
deal that Ross thought he’d closed. But nobody has reported the extent of
Trump’s castration of Ross. Trump has effectively taken his Commerce
Secretary — who he once called a “killer” — off the playing field.
One example: Ross made a deal to open the U.S. market to cooked Chinese
chicken, in exchange for the Chinese opening their market to American beef.
Ross told reporters it was a “herculean accomplishment,” and “more than
has been done in the whole history of U.S.-China relations on trade,” per
the AP.
But Trump wasn’t impressed with this deal — at all — and told our sources
he found Ross’s boasting to be laughable and ridiculous.
Ross’s propensity to doze off in meetings — which senior Capitol Hill
aides have noticed — hasn’t helped. | r***i

apprentice一个情况, 你吹牛可以, 但到了真枪实弹要干活了, 吹牛的人就会露馅.
Trump这种人一看你办事就知道你行不行了.
看wiki:
He is often called the "King of Bankruptcy" because of his record of buying
bankrupt companies, primarily in the manufacturing and steel industries, and
later selling them for a large profit after operations improve.[6]
这种人一个可能的欺骗手段就是买下一个公司, 包装的很好然后卖掉. 看上去很好, 但
实际上他并没有解决公司的问题, 只是包装的很漂亮, 搞短期效应好卖掉而已.
所以现在真的要他做事了, 其实就是个饭桶而已. | T**********e
