Of course, the media says it sets a bad precedence by negotiating 1 on 1 with a business. Do you think those people that got to keep their jobs care about the precedence? I think the job number 1 of the POTUS should be keeping Jobs in the US and getting the economy roaring, even if that means negotiating 1 on 1 with businesses. Congress can share the load by making laws that he wants done, so I don't see the big issue there.
There are many things I could think of that, constitutionally speaking, should be roles of the POTUS that take precedence over focusing on keeping individual business in the country. You are also advocating for a stronger federal government than conservatism looks for.
