It was definitely good cop bad cop stuff.... a negotiation tactic, but it was beautiful to watch...as my dad put it. Just like how Trump sent brown and black women into negotiations to choke up the white dudes who couldn't cope. My dad was a fan of his strategy. All those women were high achievers, except Ivana... my dad would come home and say "I got to tell someone about this one" then my mum ducked and weaved...and I had to listen to what I thought was boredom.
