Whether or not you like the person on the other side of the table has nothing to do with deal making. Nothing. People make deals when it makes sense, when it advances their own self-interest.
What you can expect from a 2nd Trump term is some really crappy deals, in the interest of his legacy. And those deals will be reversed by the next POTUS. Same as the last guy.
But that's nothing to simply dismiss. Everyone can see how Trump's daily bipolarism shakes the markets. Except the future is, ultimately, rightly determined by Congress. All the POTUS matters, in the grand scheme of things, is a temporary rubber stamp.
The focus on who is POTUS is a distraction....Congress is what matters (and, OK, appointing judges).
