Trump was not elected to be a conservative. He was elected to “get things done.” And he’s never been shy about being in favor of big government.
He thinks he can convince his base that if he does it, it’s good. So, the objective here is “deals.” There is no real ideological component to anything he does.
You could be on to something...look at the healthcare bill (AHCA)...dreamed up by the RINO’s in Congress and forcefully backed by Mr. Trump (with threats of “primarying”)...did the Trump administration have any input at all? Just wants a “win” or a “deal” as you say?

Wrong. The objective is govern. Listen to what Mulvaney says. The Dems WANTED a shut down. Wanted no chance of obamacare repeal, tax reform, etc. while we have a food fight over this spending bill.
Tantruming conservatives and Democrats are once again on the same side. How funny is that?
To get things done, eh? That ain’t working well without funding.
