Its unclear what prompted the storm. Trump has been hate-viewing Morning Joe recently and the show was all over it during their first hour, (or maybe he just looked at his timeline), but whatever it was left him spooked enough to take to Twitter and clarify this alleged deal that was struck.
It was a remarkable four-part tweet storm which simultaneously denied the existence of a deal, yet seemingly confirmed that some kind of deal was afoot. He also said the wall was still a priority.

Best I can make is, somehow punking the Ds ...

He responds to *anything* positive - why not use it to advantage?

The Wall is repairing existing fences.
