Is this not Trump's usual negotiation strategy? Start with outrageous, totally unacceptable demands and then slowly dial back while everyone else runs around like headless chickens. Ends with him in a much better position than if he had approached things in a rational manner?

Yep, it is, except Trump is a thug that also use military force, which is not negotiation at all.
