This reminds me of a comic strip I saw during Obama's term, when he was hailed as a great compromiser.
It showed Obama standing opposite a Republican, and the Republican saying:
"If you take a step towards me, I'll take a step towards you."
So Obama takes a step towards the Republican, who doesn't move and just says again:
"If you take a step towards me, I'll take a step towards you."
