Canada threatened to walk away from the negotiations in frustration after about 7 years of this, so I would not say at all that the EU is good at getting trade deals. Note that after 10 years there is still no deal between the EU and the US

The EU has more trade deals with countries than anyone else so I'm not sure what all that baloney is about them taking a long time. Do you have any actual evidence to prove your point?
You also seem to take issue with countries exercising their sovereign rights. It comes across as Schrodinger's Brexiter - someone who wants the UK to leave the EU so it can exercise its sovereign rights but criticises countries in the EU for exercising their sovereign rights.
