If people want to project their policy desires onto Trump and assume he feels the same way, well, have fun with that game
-
Trump would take this deal, I think. Complicated by fact that Sessions says dreamers take jobs from Americans, but that can be dealt with

You know I admire your work, Greg, but I think trying to read Trump as an ordinary more-or-less rational political dealmaker is a mug's game

He might do it out of self preservation
-
He might. But the calculus is tricky: either undocumented folks are a threat or they're not. His base and his instincts say they are...
-
so he caves on the dreamers, aka, "the good ones," while telling his base he won on the "wall" (fencing) to keep out the "bad ones"
-
He also needs to look like a winner, since Schumer and Pelosi took him for his shorts earlier today.
