I already explained it to you. You apparently don't get it because of your partisan bias which you seem to be unaware of.

As Roger Cohen observed:

When Trump was in business, his shtick was stiffing contractors. If confronted, he would try some bombast and storm out of meetings, as he did the other day with congressional leaders, ending talks on the partial government shutdown caused by a crisis he has manufactured. His shtick now is stiffing all Americans. The technique is the same: Keep reality at a distance through hyperactive fakery.

Trump has offered the Dems nothing worth making a deal. Where's the "art" in that?
