Donald Trump's negotiating session with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer spiraled wildly out of control on Tuesday, with the politicians viciously tearing into the president in plain view of reporters.
Pelosi informed him that his border wall wouldn't pass in the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a majority of seats, if it came for a vote.

If money’s an issue, Trump should just crowd fund the damn thing.
Our Man Don, taking the fight to the Enemy
No Wall, no funding for the federal bureaucracy.
Well kinda didn’t think they’d be very agreeable. Their hate is clearly on display. So, two years of nothing happening I guess.
The Republicans in congress should have been confronting Democrats just like this for a long time but they are too weak, passive and unprinicpled to do it.
so you’re saying the meeting didn’t go well?
Two more years. We already had two years of GOP control with nothing happening.
Wall bonds!!!
I agree
Oh and by the way, elections have consequences and Trump was elected to build a border wall
Yep, and request volunteer workers and equipment. The damned wall would be up in less than a year.
Yep. Get even more illegals into the country to vote or be counted as part of ballot harvesting, which will expand beyond California the next two years.
I hate to break it to you, but Fedzilla does NOT shut down. The parts deemed “essential”, which is (snort) most of it, keep right on running.
But by all means, Trump should call the uniparty’s bluff. And allow the American public to learn an excellent object lesson in the mean time.
Applause
“The Republicans in congress should have been confronting Democrats just like this for a long time but they are too weak, passive and unprinicpled to do it.”
No. The Repuglicans in congress AGREE with the dims. They’re all bought off by the same lobbyists.
Exactly. Who was fighting to defend the border before Trump?
Democratic senators warned just yesterday that the military does not have the authority to use defense funds to build border barriers on a bombing range in AZ
Maybe not with MILCON, but OMA is another story if the cost could come in under the minor construction caps.
Always open up strong.
Awesome idea, but he may need Congressional approval to float those.
