They understand Trump desperately wants to prove his deal making prowess. If they chip away in small bits, they know Trump will allow it as long as he can continue to sell the idea that he made the deal that no one else could. Trump will only not tolerate something that is such an immediate obvious failure that he can't sell it anymore at all.

Trump is a con man, not a deal maker, and con men can be the easiest people to con.
