The decision was one of the most fascinating and mysterious moves he's made with Congress during eight months in office.
The remarkable turn of events left Republican congressional leaders, in control of both chambers of the legislative branch, "shell-shocked" and "visibly annoyed," and showcased how a President who also authored "The Art of the Deal" actually cuts one.
Trump's stunning agreement to endorse a plan proposed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi came during a Wednesday morning meeting with leaders from both parties in the Oval Office, the first such meeting of Trump's presidency.

(959 posts)he will do something everyday to outrage and confound and to keep his face on the TV. Today it was screwing over his own people; yesterday it was screwing over the dreamers. Tomorrow, who knows? It's all a reality show to him, and if his face is on TV he's happy.
