If you’ve read The Art of the Deal, none of this should come as a surprise.

Today’s meeting between President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney played out like a live-action masterclass in Trump’s dealmaking philosophy. From thinking big to pushing relentlessly, the meeting followed the exact playbook Trump laid out in his 1987 bestseller.

Think big.


Be relentless.


Maximize your leverage.


Get the word out.


And when someone treats you unfairly—fight back.
