Trump Had A Meltdown After Meeting With Pelosi And Schumer
Trump knew that he got owned by Pelosi and Schumer, which is why
he stormed out of the Oval Office and threw his papers down after they left.
Eli Stokles of The LA Times reported on MSNBC’s Hardball:
I think afterward the president based on reporting I am getting out of the White House,
the president was frustrated after the meeting.
Aides briefed him going in, aides are aware, sometimes you brief a president, he doesn’t always follow the plan.
This was supposed to be a short photo op,
supposed to give a picture of the president working with the Democrats, incoming how the majority, trying to get a deal done.
And then they’re supposed to leave.
The president likes to sometimes keep cameras in the room.
Pelosi was trying to help him say we’ll talk when the cameras left,
but it sort of spiraled out of control.
When the president left the Oval after Pelosi and Schumer,
the number of people saw him storm out of the oval,
walked into a room just off the oval office and
had in his hand a folder of briefing papers and scattered them out of frustration,
threw them across the room and
expressed frustration to people that were present, mainly with Chuck Schumer,
his old New York sparring buddy he felt got the better of him,
goaded him into a remark how Schumer wouldn’t make eye contact with the president,
was actually looking back at cameras as he was making comments to the president,
but directing comments to the camera.
It frustrated the president more than what worried his aides which was comments he made,
taking ownership of the shutdown.

'Irrational and unhinged': Conservative writer explains how Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi outsmarted Trump
Through completely unforced errors, the president backed himself into a corner and took responsibility for a government shutdown,
Pelosi referred to the possibility of a "Trump shutdown," Trump lost it and ... agreed with Democrats that he would own any shutdown.
"I am proud to shut down the government
for border security … I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down," Trump said.
"If we don't get what we want, one way or the other, whether it's through you, through military, through anything you want to call,
I will shut down the government."
It was a massive, unforced blunder.
it means Trump has lost the fight over funding the government before it even begins.
"The first rule of shutdown fights is never say you are for a shutdown,"
"Voters invariably oppose this kind of stunt and
see it as evidence of incompetence and unnecessary rancor by the governing party.
In short, since Republicans control everything and
are likely to be blamed for shuttering the government,
the last thing President Trump wants to do is say he is for a shutdown."
"It was an extraordinary moment when Trump not only lost the high ground as president but made Democrats look like the grown-ups."
The New York Times has reported that Trump cannot use "the military" to build the wall, as he threatened, because federal law prohibits spending defense money to construct a solid barrier at the border.
"It is not clear how Trump could have appeared more irrational and unhinged,"
To keep the government running,
GOP leadership may have to turn to Democrats for votes,
giving Pelosi and Schumer leverage not only on the border wall but on other spending items as well."
Legislatively, Republicans have accomplished next to nothing this year.
If they shut down the government,
they'll wind up confirming that
the party of Trump is not only unethical but
also incompetent and dysfunctional.
Christmas sure came early for Democrats."

No. I don't believe it at all.
I just like tracing the source of these things.
Like your source, Q.
lol
Well, if Cohen has a tape of Trump's discussing the legality of the payoffs, that's lights out.
Attorneys seem pretty confident tbh.
His legal team will miss the holidays with their families - just like the troops at our Southern border.
Yep yep - that's awesome.
