Trump losing interest in Trumpcare was predictable. He never was a deal-maker.
Trump has a particular definition of "making a deal": It's his way or the highway.
He either gets what he wants or he's out. There's always a new deal around the corner. Buh-bye.
Trump never bothered with turning a bad deal into a good deal.
He never bothered with hammering out the minutiae of a complicated, layered transaction.
As he so craftly told the Freedom Caucus: "Forget about the little shit."
What I am talking about is "confirmation-bias". Trump never "made" a deal. He waited until the right deal came along. That's why he was in almost every imaginable field of business. Wine, steaks, reality-TV...
And when he finally found a good deal through trial&error, he thought that this was somehow his making.
And as is mandatory with "confirmation-bias", he immediately loses interest if things go wrong, he never looks back and defeats don't count.
To be fair... If you don't count his bankruptcies and his political defeats (as he does), then Yes, indeed, you get a business-genius and deal-maker.
Trump waiting for Obamacare's collapse is exactly the way how he makes deals:
He doesn't create good deals out of bad deals.
He bides his time and waits until the good deal turns up all by itself.
