Re:
Trump is making noises some may not have expected. The sounds of compromise. The gravity of his situation will surely cause him to reflect a little. Even a lot.
After all, when your policy cupboard is barely stocked, you may as well visit your rival's to see if you can find something.

Re:
I think as a non politician, the job he thought he was getting is quite probably vastly different from the job he has got.
For one thing, on the campaign trail he could sling as much mud at fellow Republicans as he liked, after all, he was the wild maverick. All of a sudden he now needs those same people to help him get anything done, otherwise he will end up as stymied as Obama has been.

Yes, I agree.
Already a lot of the anti Trump camp are suggesting he won't hack it long term.
I think, as a power hungry narcissist, that he will eke out every last minute of it, and will run again.
He is so different from any other president, I would imagine he will end up pleasing a lot more people than just the pitch fork branding hill folks.

I actually think that the very character trait that made Trump's rhetoric so un-pleasant during the campaign could lead him to be a less dangerous POTUS that you'd think.
Yes he is a power hungry narcissist, this made him say what he needed to to scared white folks to get them to vote for him. Including, bizarrely 52% of white women who voted.
but now he has to retain power. The adulation & applause will not be from the crowd anymore but from the corridors of power. These people will have a huge sway on the stupid and vain. There are West Wing staff who could intellectually box Trump whilst they do the crossword at the same time.
He lied to get in, now in he will be far less radical than we expect.
I can imagine a lot of Federal laws being devolved to States. This gets the heat off him.
This also puts the Senators in a much stronger position and protects him electorally.
A nation wide ban on abortion would cause mayhem. Devolve it. Abortion becomes legal in Colorado & Massachusetts, Illegal in Nebraska and South Carolina.
A Nation wide legalisation of Marijuana would be a disaster. It is already allowed in some states. Devolve it. Texas and Ohio can ban it. California and Washington (state) can legalise it.
Every one then likes Trump, as Trump allows states more freedom.
Plus, if you think your taxes are too high, don't call Trump! Call the Governor and protest the State House!

Alternatively...
This could be the shortest presidency in history (barring assassinations) where the Democrats take a leaf out of the Republican play book.
The Rep. party obstructed and obstructed and obstructed Bill Clinton until they could attempt to Impeach him.
Given Trump is a thin skinned 12 year old this may not take too long.
