The debt-ceiling “deal” from a week or so ago was a misnomer, since there wasn’t really any deal — Trump just gave Pelosi and Schumer what they wanted. This appears to be what Trump did Wednesday night on DACA as well. This isn’t dealing; it’s capitulating and then watching cable news for affirmation. The deal is so vague and confused maybe it won’t hold and the reception hasn’t been great on Capitol Hill. Mitch McConnell’s statement that he looked forward to seeing Trump’s legislative proposal was a typically understated way of saying, “Tell us at your earliest convenience when and if you get it together enough to know what your deal really is.”
