'For all of his talk as the ultimate dealmaker, he remains tied to the most conservative forces in the party,' a Democratic consultant said. 'That's why he sends Freedom Caucus members to negotiate spending bills.'
Meadows isn’t the only one who has struggled to secure deals with congressional Democrats. Trump's roster of negotiators and counselors has included his predecessor Mick Mulvaney, two founding members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus; and senior adviser Stephen Miller, an outspoken restrictionist.
Meadows is a former congressman known on Capitol Hill for objecting to bipartisan deals in pursuit of more conservative policy. Mnuchin, however, is seen by Democrats as a viable partner and an exception to the president's more ideological emissaries. Mulvaney led the government funding talks that resulted in a 35 day government shutdown in 2018, which stemmed from Trump's demand for border wall money. Months later, leaders of both parties worked to sideline Mulvaney to prevent a repeat.
"You don’t necessarily need someone close to Democrats to effectively negotiate," he said."What you need are clear goals and principles and a sense of what’s doable, but the president doesn’t typically have those."Core to Trump’s first campaign pitch was the idea that voters were getting him — the only one capable of enacting change in in Washington — and his skills, which means staying on the sidelines of negotiations has left his team to sustain his deal-making brand.
"Democrats would prefer to see the economy go into the tank for another 90 days because that harms the president," Navarro said on NBC's"Meet the Press."
