"Negotiating with Jell-O": How Trump's shifting positions fueled the rush to a shutdown. My latest with @jdawsey1 + @edatpost.https://t.co/OyBhjYHgy9— Ashley Parker (@AshleyRParker) January 20, 2018
Trump is a self-proclaimed dealmaker who has struggled to close critical deals as president — an unreliable negotiator who seems to promise one thing only to renege days, or even hours, later. He boasts of being “flexible” and has few core ideological convictions, yet often seems torn between his desire for a bipartisan “win” and the pull of the nationalist populism he ran on. In politics he resembles at times an amateur jazz musician — moody and improvisational, but without the technical chops to hold a piece together.
