My grandmother used to say about her courtship with my grandfather "he chased me till I caught him" - meaning she played hard to get and let him think he was pursuing her, when marrying him was her plan all along.
It's an old-fashioned concept that no longer has much credence in modern relationships, but it's a good way to explain what Pelosi is doing to Trump as she lets him think he's getting the best of her while every day he keeps falling into traps she and other Democrats are setting for him.
Keep chasing, Donald. Nancy's waiting for you...

People no longer have a good concept of how salesmanship and theatrics work. People just want to enjoy the show.
