Trump Had Quiet Weekend Before Government Shutdown

Description

He made no public appearances and kept his direct contact with lawmakers, especially Democrats, to a minimum. Instead, the president left the heavy lifting to his staff, who temporarily suppressed his instinct to invite lawmakers to the White House to strike a grand bargain.
