Looking for all the political answers to why the President worked a deal with Democrats on a temporary debt ceiling situation is a complete waste of time…he’s not a politician.

He’s – first and foremost – a businessman, and uncertainty raises havoc with business.

Of course he cut a deal. Trump’s the epitome of ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid’.

The fact he did it with Democrats just gives him more leverage with Republicans, since 1) he’s displayed he’ll do what he has to do to get things done, 2) let’s face it, he also gave Republicans political cover, because many voters don’t like debt-ceiling hikes, and 3) the economy benefits with CERTAINTY as we voyage into a touchy holiday season.

Stop analyzing his moves through a purely political lens…he’s not a politician.

He’s something much more effective – a businessman with extreme political power.
