ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

Why Trump’s Tariff Strategy Works

Welcome to Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec, where every episode delivers a sharp, practical insight you can use immediately—and today’s lesson may change how you negotiate forever.

In Episode 145: “Persuasion Techniques of Trump Tariff Negotiations”, Lisec unpacks the real reason why Donald Trump’s tariff threats against Canada and Mexico didn’t just dominate the headlines—they got results. From “Canada tariffs” to “Mexico tariffs,” the news cycle was swamped with outrage and applause. But beneath the noise lies a masterclass in persuasion techniques in negotiation.

Joshua Lisec, New York Times bestselling ghostwriter and renowned persuasion expert, walks you through the exact steps of how Trump applied persuasion psychology to international trade—delivering a lesson not just in economics, but in human behavior.

This is not a politics episode. It’s a persuasion clinic. And it’s full of examples of how to persuade someone to do something—whether that someone is a friend, a boss, a client, or even an entire nation.

Trump didn’t just throw around tariff threats for shock value. He understood that persuasion techniques only work when applied to the audience’s values. So when dealing with liberal leaders like Justin Trudeau, Trump let them play into their own maternal instincts—the instinct to be “fair,” to avoid hurt feelings, to treat international diplomacy like preschool playtime. He knew they’d flinch.

And they did.

If you’ve been asking “what are tariffs?” or want “Donald Trump tariffs explained” in a way that actually makes sense (and applies to your everyday life), this episode is for you. Lisec walks through tariffs explained for dummies without talking down to you. It’s tariff news that goes beyond the headlines—and straight into your next sales pitch, debate, or negotiation.

But don’t think this is just about world leaders. Lisec uses Trump’s strategy to reveal timeless persuasion techniques—and shows how they show up in everything from parenting, to politics, to advertising.

Ever wonder why some products flaunt “cruelty-free” labels or why commercials focus on “fairness” and “emotion”? That’s not just marketing fluff. It’s persuasion techniques in advertising aimed at liberal, urban, affluent women. (A demographic Lisec cheekily refers to as AWFUL—Affluent White Female Urban Liberals.) Yes, even examples of persuasion in advertising point back to psychology: Who are you talking to, and how do they decide what’s “right”?

Lisec ties it all together by comparing liberal, conservative, and libertarian mindsets—each of which responds to a different form of persuasion. You’ll come away not only knowing how to persuade someone to do something, but also how to recognize what kind of someone you’re talking to.

Want techniques of persuasion in writing? Want to understand how Trump’s persuasion techniques in negotiation made countries cave in less than 24 hours? Want to use that same logic in your next raise conversation, contract renegotiation, or viral marketing campaign?

This episode delivers.
