We might find that Donald Trump surprises us with his consensus building.  He's a negotiator through and through.  That involves adapting his position to what's do-able in the eyes of others.

The 2-D caricature was that he doesn't listen, isn't curious, but this Cabinet process we've seen, may suggest a re-think.  I personally am learning a lot about Trump as we go here.  

He has not been what I, at least, predicted.  The Romney, Haley, Ryan situations, the fact that Conway is empowered to speak her own (strong) mind, the CEO connecting with blue-collar workers, some of it does not fit CNN's script.  Mattis may be another example.  He too was fairly harsh on Trump a year ago.
