Donald the dealmaker

When Donald Trump makes his deals, he makes them to make money. He has the professional help to weedle through the system. He uses the bankruptcy laws (and who makes those laws?) to come out with a profit for himself and the hell with those who lose their jobs. If he makes money by consigning work overseas, he does it.

These deals are complex to understand and are full of nuanced grays to match his nuanced denials. Can dealmaker who traffics in ego and moneymaking, who deals for his own best interests, make deals for the general good? Deals that involve compromise?

So when he claims he can get a few senators together and make a deal in 10 minutes, how can any sensible person believe this?
