This sums it up well. IMHO

...............One thing we confirmed this week was that Donald Trump is neither the master of the art of the deal nor of the rudiments of the legislative process. His views on immigration and his “guidance” zig-zagged like a world class slalom skier, frustrating GOP leadership more than anyone. No one had (or has) any idea whether he truly wanted to help the dreamers, truly wanted a large wall, or truly understood one iota of what was in the spending package. Trump’s “must haves” – a “must know” in any negotiation – ranged from hard to soft, clearly reflecting the person who last had his ear.
