Well all we heard during 2015 and 2016 was that Trump is the master dealmaker.

He could make winning deals even with our enemies.

Deals, deals, deals.

So either

(1) Trump sees this as a winning deal, or

(2) This is the best deal Trump is capable of making.

I definitely read that in comment after comment HERE.
Check out this classic post here FR:

Donald J. Trump: “I want to win for the people of this great country. The only people I will owe are the voters. The media, special interests, and lobbyists are all trying to stop me. We won't let that happen!”

or (3) He doesn't care. Trump wants a deal. Deal is all he cares about. It doesn't matter what it is a deal on or what the particulars are, he wants a deal he can sign and which will give him a sense of winning.
