"The Art Of The Deal"

There's a storm brewing and it's not named Daniels. Neither is it related to matters of the president's waistline so much as his inability to get his arms around more than a bumper-sticker conception of policy.

The government teeters on the brink of shutting down, and doing so under one-party rule for the first time since it became a weaponized practice during the Clinton years. Why? In no small part because the self-proclaimed master of the "Art of the Deal" has proven incapable of actually closing one.
