So my basic question is, what makes Liam Fox think that he will get any better a deal with, to begin with?

Only until Trump decides to renege on it and start seeking even more attention. It'll all be fine and then Trump will basically turn around and say "right, now I am going to reimpose those tariffs unless...." which is why you can't negotiate with a nationalist. No deal will ever be enough, they will just keep coming back for more. Every time. (Look at Sturgeon - just as soon as AS lost the last referendum she started talking about the next one even though they agreed that it was a once in a lifetime issue. They'll just keep coming back for more, every single time).
