Hell! Does no one understand Trump at all after all this time?
Trump has a position. Let's say it is immigration or trade. He has a position. With this position is the recognition, things are not how he wants it, there are unplumbed extreme positions far greater than what he would reasonably accept, anything he does will get an amount of pushback and outrage, and the degree to which it manifests, probably will not be THAT different.
So he will have a preferred position and come in with an offer far greater than what he wants. Greater still than what he will happily or begrudgingly accept. He will casually throw it out there and will not blink nor justify himself nor be wishy-washy about it.
People will believe this to be the line in the sand. It isn't. He wants an outcome in line to what he is asking for but now makes himself open to possibilities. People go crazy and denounce it and he waits and gradually there is movement and he sees where he has ground to gain or must give and works from that position.
He has always done that.
