They are trying to negotiate the rules. What is wrong with that? It helps teach trump that when he pulls out of a deal, he will not always get a better deal.
Many years ago, I, and the rest of the company I worked for, was told to "reapply for my job." I asked for a large raise, because I had more experience than when I originally applied. The owner treated it as a betrayal, and at first refused to give me a raise. He was forced to, because I was that good.
Someone pulls out of an agreement, never give them as good of an offer as they had before.
