Here I always thought compromising was one part of deal making.

Or at least make the other guy think you are. Which shows the utter stupidity of Trump's deal making prowess. He left himself no wiggle room. ie...you ask more than you want, then 'concede' to a compromise. And hold a joint press conference saying both sides compromised in order to get a good deal for everyone.
