It will be the first time an entire issue has been devoted to a president.
From what I read they are not impressed.
His win-lose dealmaking style is outmoded by 50 years and as has been demonstrated lately is not very effective.
Attacking the people around you both on your side and the other is not productive.
Not being trustworthy is very counterproductive.
Now some will say he is a Billionaire and therefore must be a good negotiator.
Is he really, how do you know?
"From what I read they (Harvard) are not impressed"

Can't be because they hate him...

"must be a good negotiator.

Pretty sure that's an opinion, not something that can be proven.

He made a lot of money in real estate in NYC, meaning dealing with politicians, unions, the mob...

Had a very successful book

Had a very successful TV show (for some reason)

defeated the most inevitable presidential candidate, in the history of the country

That doesn't mean he's a good dealmaker. I can't prove he is, Harvard can't prove he isn't. You got all excited because someone at Harvard doesn't like him...
