It’s specifically the window of acceptable political discourse.
I don’t think it’s within the window of acceptable political discourse within North America to discuss whether or not Trump should do some exercises that get him in touch with his body together with the Chinese before they set down to negotiate, with the goal to get them to mutual understanding of each other.
That’s not an acceptable question to ask about the US-Chinese trade dispute. It’s not just that answers to the questions are problematic, the question itself is outside of the window.
Well, before you were using diplomats as an example, and now you’re specifically talking about the POTUS, which changes everything, especially with regards to the Overton window. Suggesting the POTUS do something is of course much more sensitive than suggesting a generic/random diplomat do the same, regardless of what it is.

It would also not within the discourse to suggest that the other diploments that are involed in the negotiation should do so.
