embarrassment. i think part of the problem is he s afraid of saying yes and once you have a settled deal it becomes vulnerable to attack to be a shifting target is easier than saying yes to a policy. as you said, susan, he has all of these people around him saying why a deal could be the bad deal. that s their job but when donald trump hears the downsides, unlike reagan after rag eykjavi saying i don t care what the wall street journal editorial says, this is our chance to strike a nuclear deal with the soviet union and i m willing to do it. this is a great point and it matters when you have a president who isn t deeply immersed in the details.
