Nancy Pelosi calls Trump walkout 'a set-up'
The Washington Times ^ | January 10, 2019 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 01/10/2019 9:10:01 AM PST by jazusamo

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused President Trump Thursday of a set-up in their meeting a day earlier, when the president walked out after she told him she’ll never allow him funding for his border wall.

Mrs. Pelosi also questioned the president’s motives, saying he’s negotiating from a position of weakness.

“I don’t even know if the president wants the wall. He wants a debate on the wall,” she said.

The California Democrat has said she would allow a single dollar to go to the wall if it ended the shutdown but has said the president’s current $5.7 billion request is a no-go.

Mrs. Pelosi also said the border fight is not about national security.

“It really isn’t,” she said.

She walked into her OWN setup - President Trump turned the tables.

Was there a gun to her head, to say what she did?

She has just met someone who is smarter, more powerful and more resourceful ...

If she wasn’t so dumb, she’d KNOW that already

“It was a set up. And she was the turkey who willingly walked into that set up.

Dumber than a box of rocks.”


Maybe it was...and maybe Trump just had a Plan B ready and waiting to go. That’s how he rolls - he’s a businessman, not a pol, and 45 quite successful years in business undoubtedly have taught him to have not just a Plan B, but also Plans C, D, E and F - because things virtually NEVER work out the way you’d like them to do so.

Or, maybe, it was a trap. If so, it had many bells and whistles warning Nanzi not to enter it...and the senile old crone did so anyway. She still hasn’t realized that she isn’t dealing with W, McCain or Romney. Trump is smarter, more resourceful and more aggressive than her, and also has a secret weapon: he simply doesn’t give a rat’s ass what anyone thinks of him. That’s a luxury you get when you’re 70+, and is considerably reinforced by having a net worth of $5 billion or so. Nanzi is playing WAY out of her league.

Thank you for the link.

I didn’t realize it was so easy to send a note of support.

She told him she’d never negotiate with him, so what’s the point of continuing the meeting? I don’t blame him for walking out of something that was a complete waste of time.

Thank you! Projection, indeed! I remember Jim Quinn (local radio talk show host) used to say, “If you want to know what liberals are up to, look no further than what they are accusing conservatives of.”

Face it, Nancy is over the hill, she is so far over her head it’s not even funny. Watching her is like watching a woman with demitasse in an old age home

Pelosi whining about her being set up is hilarious, she's dumber than dirt.

Nancy, projection is not just something that happens in a movie theater.

It was a set-up. He wanted her on the record saying “No $$ For you, and your wall”.

Now he will have to go it alone utilizing all potential funding sources and methods and because they have said NO, he will work for it and get HUGE credit.

She certainly fell for it.

They need to understand that trump is not a politician. He’s a businessman. When you say there is no way that you will accept his single request, there is nothing to talk about. The next step is to find a suitable horse and buy a large hack saw.

Only then can negotiations continue. He’ll get back to her when he’s ready - and he knows she will be too.

Your point is well taken. However, I don’t think Nancy gives a rat’s ass either. She’ll be voted into office long after she dies. She is the Queen of the Dems and can do no wrong, even when she is doing wrong.
