Dem lawmaker shares mock version of 'Art of the Deal' with Pelosi as author

Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) celebrated a breakthrough in negotiations to end the government shutdown on Friday with a mock-up of the president's signature book, "The Art of the Deal," featuring Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on the cover.

Takano shared the image Friday as the House speaker appeared to have reached a deal with the White House guaranteeing an at least temporary end to the government shutdown with a three-week clean spending resolution.

"Fixed it," Takano added in a caption.

Democrats saw Friday's news as a victory following weeks of threats from the White House to keep the federal government closed down for months or "years" absent a funding bill that contained more than $5 billion for the president's plan to construct a wall along the southern border.
