It wasn’t the media this time. This is what you get when you sincerely TRY to negotiate with Democrats. You have a discussion with them about ‘possibilities’ of “ifs” and “maybes”, and then they trot out and proclaim a “DEAL”. It’s an old trick book play by them every time you work with them. They try to corner you later, by claiming a ‘final deal’, and then let you come off as the one who “broke” the deal. They are utterly contemptible human beings!
So in other words, trump got played by even meeting with them.
