For the first time since the 2018-midterm elections, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with President Trump at the White House Tuesday.
Their meeting was originally supposed to be closed press, but that all changed when the White House press pool was invited into the Oval Office to broadcast their remarks.
President Trump started the meeting by thanking Pelosi and Schumer for showing up and made his case for additional border security.
"I am proud to shut down the government over border security," Trump said. "I will take the mantle."
"They're pouring into our country. We have to have border security. We have to have a wall," he continued.
After some back and forth with the Democrat leaders, Pelosi started to panic and said they should not continue in front of the press.
"I don't think we should have a debate in front of the press on this," Pelosi said.
"Its called transparency Nancy," Trump shot back.

President Trump then continued, leading Schumer to later argue the same.
"Let's debate, let's debate in private," he pleaded. "We shouldn't shut down the government over a dispute, and you want to shut it down."

After the meeting, Pelosi and Schumer ran to the cameras outside of the West Wing and further slammed President Trump's position.
"He will get no wall and he will get a shutdown," Schumer said. "This temper tantrum that he seems to throw will not get him his wall."
Should Trump replace him on the ticket for 2020?

Yes....you're right.
Also after the meeting, Nancy and Schmuckie went outside to speak to the lame-o reporters and at one point Schmuckie snapped hoarsely at the scribes to BE QUIET.

By the way... the Google guy was testifying today. Says there is NO BIAS AGAINST CONSERVATIVES. I just found this on Google looking up "schmuck".

Urban Dictionary: Schmuck
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Schmuck
Schmuck- in American English is a pejorative term meaning one who is stupid or ... DONALD TRUMP IS SUCH A SCHMUCK FOR USING THIS WORD AGAINST MINORITIES.

....... and Google says they are not biased. Bullsh*t.
Pelosi and Chuck you Schumer were expecting an easy ride, but Trump jump started them with his boot...
For me it tells me he's uncomfortable with directly, publicly confronting these 'rats. This isn't what he would do which is disappointing.
No question, Trump got them to both look terrible this afternoon.
Pretty funny really.
Though I believe Nancy was right that he doesn’t have the votes in the GOP House for the wall, Trump was also right that getting them to pass anything would be a waste, as long as McConnell is there sticking to his 60-vote rule in the Senate.
Why did he do that? It makes no sense. If they hide from the press they can’t lie to the press afterwards and Democrats always have to be allowed to lie.
So as not to expose the pipe up his...???
That left a major mark on the witch, she later on mocked his manhood..........
Millions of American Patriots: "GO GET 'EM, DONALD!!"
Pence was a backup card not needed to be played. When Trumpzilla is chewing up the countryside by himself, he doesn’t need any help.
People seem to have forgotten that Pence is a dues-paid member in good standing of our irredeemably corrupt and depraved political class.
“think Pence was just sitting back and enjoying President Trump making the dems squirm...”
I agree. Also, it looks like an uncomfortable chair. Pence may not be the most exciting person, but he’s been a very good and loyal VP for Trump - I have no complaints at all.
“Its called transparency Nancy,” Trump shot back.
Even Fox’s “The Five” commented on Pence’s robotic look in the meeting
today. They did not dog him. Just made a few comments, laughed
and moved on.
Absolutely
I’ve been flying all day thru a multi-leg business trip.
The guy next to me on one flight was watching CNN, whose chyron was just about screaming “Trump start White House Brawl!!!”
Then they had, in quick succession, “Saigon Dick” Blumenthal, D-CT, James “Q-Ball” Clapper, and four or five other idiots to tell everyone what it all meant, for obvious impeachment.
Now I could NOT hear a word they were saying, but I can assure you I have a very good idea. Orange man bad!
Very true, where they were looking. Nancy did look at Trump a few times talking, Schumer talked to the cameras and the floor.
More like James T. Kirk playing poker: calling their bluff openly for the cameras.
Someone Please Tweet President Trump to be sure to use the Flashcards and Speak S-L-O-O-O-W-L-Y to pelousy and upchuck.
