President Donald Trump, the author of best-selling "Art of The Deal," doesn't seem to understand that in making a deal, it's necessary to sit down across from those with whom you're dealing and talk about options that are acceptable to both parties.

Maybe the wisdom he tried to convey in his book only applies to business deals and not political deals that can get tens of thousands of government workers back on the job.
