Is he using the Democrats for a ploy or setting them up for a big mess up? I think he has a plan set up with the Republicans to screw over the Democrats?

as said elsewhere to show he can "cut deals" and get a "win".
But also, to take a swipe at McConnell in light of the story that just came out that says McConnell gave him the silent treatment during conversations in the KillObamacare period when Trump would get off track with "banter" (read: "banter = bragging" ). Part of his impulsive need to lash out and attempt to dominate.
In short: motivation = impulsive + pathological.
Sure later he will do things to try to rough up the Dem Leadership. But it won't be part of a strategic plan. Just more impulsive + pathological.
