MORNING MUSING

One of the important thing character traits of President Trump is his love for deal-making. “The Art of the Deal” looms giant over nearly all the things he does. (Why that’s been so confounding for some all of these years stays a thriller.) The man loves to negotiate — loves to make use of unorthodox strategies to keep the opposition off stability and improve his leverage — and he loves to strike a deal. 

So when he says, “I’m not too much in a mood to negotiate now,” that’s saying one thing. No doubt, he is drained (that was a 1:00 AM press gaggle) and received a lot on his thoughts. But when Donald Trump, of all people, says he is in no temper to negotiate, that’s a fairly clear signal that the time for dealmaking has handed. He’s over it.
