I genuinely don’t understand how this man has a reputation for deal making. Here we have two public examples of reactions to his pressure: Columbia caved, Harvard fought. (Similar: EU caved, China fought.)
Yet there is practically no difference in how they’re being treated. If anything, the capitulator in both examples has been treated worse.
He has a reputation for making deals where people have to pay him lots of money, and he's continued to be successful in that regard. Quite a lot of people and companies are paying him bribes that would have been unthinkable 6 months ago.
It's simple: he used the money he inherited to hire a ghost writer to pen a book called "The Art of the Deal" while he lost more of his dad's money on bad deals.

That's because he's not a deal maker, he's just a narcissist bully
