Oh? Deals with who? Legolas Send a noteboard - 19/01/2018 07:56:55 AM

Deals with the Republicans in Congress whose painstakingly crafted compromises he tries to bring crashing down on a whim? Or did you mean his attempts to strike deals with the Democrats, that one time with the 'Chuck and Nancy' thing?

Making a deal means being a team player, working towards a compromise and then sticking with it. Sure, it's a good thing that Trump is open to changing his mind and accepting compromises - but not if he then changes his mind again the next day to start attacking the compromise.

You know exactly what I'm talking about, so this reply was pretty absurd. Below link to an article I happened to read today covering the same point, just in case it helps you focus on the point.
