Trump Is Just a Weak Negotiator
Political Wire
by Taegan Goddard

Josh Barro: “The president’s shifting positions are a problem that has contributed to the shutdown. But there’s another, related issue: Members of Congress in both parties believe the president is a weak negotiator. This discourages them from compromising, even among themselves, because they believe they’ll eventually be able to roll Trump closer to their own position.”

“Why cut a deal now when you believe you’ll eventually be able to get Trump alone in a room and he’ll agree to give you more?”

I expect that as staff turns over the replacements will be less and less competent. The only folks likely want want a job are the ones that hope to leverage it into speaking fees or a book deal once they are out. No quality person would want to work for Chump.
