I feel Trump isn’t the only one who does this though. That’s why it will be difficult to find common ground.
I don't know about that.
John Boehner, while Speaker of the House, publicly stated that the Republican party's primary goal was to go against anything and everything that Obama wanted... and further stated that the Republican party wasn't going to cooperate nor compromise with Obama on anything.
Then in 2013 the the Republican party caused the shut down of the government but failed to get what they wanted, John Boehner publicly admitted that he and the Republican party tried to force Obama's hand but failed.
That is to say that John Boehner admitted the shut down was the Republican's fault and admitted that they failed to get what they wanted.
Trump on the other hand publicly stated that he was responsible for this shutdown, but now is trying to act like it was the Democrats doing.
Yes, many politicians lie, but not like Trump... and not to the level and degree that Trump does.
Many people keep acting like "it" is the Democrats... HOWEVER, there are quite a few Republicans that have been disagreeing with Trump on a regular basis, literally since he took office.
There is some potential common ground between Republicans & Democrats as demonstrated by numerous bills passed by congress which included bipartisan support.
Presently potential cooperation between Republicans and Democrats is being blocked by Trump... and some of the more far right Republicans.
