When you make deals with snakes you should expect to get bitten. not a snake example, but the whole fable of the scorpion and the frog comes to mind.

I can't speak to or of his motivations, but I think it clearly demonstrates something about him in how he will deal with opposition to the US. I'm sure there will be cries that this is a ridiculous example, but I don't think it is. He is dealing with someone who has been an opponent and has demonstrated little integrity. In the interests of unity and her support, he gives away something he probably shouldn't have, and now has to deal with the ramifications. And I would suppose that she isn't going to be giving him the kind of support and cheerleading he is expecting.
