That has been alluded to recently in an article I read, not substantiated of course. But is that excessive? Definition of excessive changes depending on whose perspective you're talking about. For me that type of out clause so he can do this again and ensure he's the most paid is excessive. To you it might not be, which is fine and all, to each his own.
All I'm saying is we don't know. You're making assumptions that Donald and/or his team aren't going overboard. I'm just saying we don't know that to be true. Cite all the previous holdouts you want, we still don't know man.
Right now for myself at least I have a feeling this thing isn't going to end well. It's probably paranoia tbh, but still can't shake the feeling that there's something wrong. What I don't know is what side is out of whack. Could be that you're right, we'll see.
VB wrote the most detailed recent article on the negotiations this year, and he does not mention an out clause.
That was one guy's rumor and others picked up on him saying it but that's it in terms of substantiation.
But anyway that's minor, so that aside, in contrast to you, I am still more optimistic. Just how I feel about it.
