McMaster is an accomplished general who points out the good and the bad of Trump, but misses the mark when observing the bad.
He understands that Trump is unpredictable and recognizes he cannot read what is clear in Trump's mind. In part, that failure might come from the fact that, as a general, McMaster is used to dealing with people in group situations. Trump is a businessman and a loner. Therefore, many considerations are unseen by others, but, in his mind, Trump's management is transparent, with many paths to choose from that are dictated by the response he gets from those he is negotiating with. Unfortunately, this isn't comforting for the one who manages things in a group.
When examining Trump's negotiating strategies, instead of assuming He made a mistake, look carefully at the contract, where a backdoor invariably exists. Trump always leaves that unseen backdoor to get his way.
