> aggressive, negotiation style born out of his NYC real estate developer days

This is what someone would say if they only know Donald Trump from TV.

Everyone who knows Trump from his NYC real estate days knows that he's (and this is possibly the worst insult any New Yorker can hurl at someone) "a bum." There's a reason NYC would never vote for him.

He doesn't pay his contractors, reneges on legal agreements he himself created, and uses legal threats and fights to screw over anyone he pleases, especially if they can't afford the legal fight. It's a lie-cheat-steal mentality, and might makes right.

It's not like, some hard-nosed NYC negotiating strategy. He's a crook. There's really not much more than that.
