i find that, nick, to be such a such a remarkable statement. he lives by his ratings, period. that s the way he sees the world. i shouldn t say is he going to like that? that news coming out? it feels like it looks like chuck schumer is playing him so hard. the president should get praise for the debt deal. the first president who said, you know what? forget all the theatrics around this made-up issue. shouldn t be fighting about it. i m not making a big deal. motives may not be pure but took something shouldn t be an internal football and said forget about it. good for him. and the trump inch, trumpettes along with him. right? doesn t have core principles and ready to make a deal when he sees it to his benefit. not ideological. transactional i kept hearing. have seen evidence of being transactional just yet. one piece of the puzzle so far.
