September 9, 2017 at 10:57 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
A Trump adviser tells Mike Allen that after a tumultuous seven months in office, it had finally dawned on the president: People really fucking hate me.
For someone who has spent his life lapping up adulation, however fake, it was a harsh realization. This is a man with an especially acute need for affirmation. This weeks bear hug of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer opened Trumps eyes to one solution: Stop doing things that people hate, and start striking deals.
An important point: But we cant overstate the level of despair among Republicans.

and I don't believe that Trump was doing a deal with Pelosi and Schumer........that was a stick in the eye of the Congressional GOP for not treating Dear Leader as he feels he deserves.

Just like Reagan and GW Bush. He will be made more palatable to the public. I wouldn't be surprised to see that his lips have stopped moving during his next speech.
Fascism can also wear a smile while they do their deeds.

when the question concerns what deals and with whom
