Clearly, Pelosi believes that certain topics, i.e., American border security, should never be discussed in front of the children.
And who are the children? The American people, seated at the kids table, so they won’t be troubled by troublesome grown-up talk. But Nancy? Not all American taxpayers yearn to be infantilized.
It depends on whether they are from San Francisco. Not all mind you but I would say most.
By his presence he was telling Schumer and Pelosi that he and the President are a unified team.

^^This...no dividing and conquering these two.
I think Pence was supposed to be a witness to the meeting, which was scheduled to be closed. Trump brought in the press & made is an OPEN meeting. Pence was an observer to what he has to deal with in 2024.
“skunk urine”
What she really meant to say was “the product of a skunk’s mercaptan-emitting scent glands”. “Skunk urine” is wrong physics. If the skunk wants you to smell bad, its not going to tinkle on you.
Two years of Pelosi as speaker should be sufficient to sour the electorate on Democrats for another few cycles.
Here is the video of most of that meeting. VIDEO
Trump suckered Nancy and Chuckie into a completely transparent meeting...all on video.
And Trump did it with the great Mike Pence playing the straight man.
BTW, this was not a double vaudevillian comedy act so Pence was playing a slightly different role.
Pence's straight man act was aimed at bringing dignity and gravitas to this meeting.
The President knew he would have to mud wrestle Pelosi and Schumer to get them to be honest...and, of course, the President loved that.
It was Pence who stood above the mud wrestling. He remind us that while the President is willing to get in the mud and wrestle for the truth...for the U.S.A....he, the President, still understands the importance of the dignity of the WH.
He, the President, knows that the White House is still above such.
Trump is a master of reality TV. I think he and his team, including Mike Pence, took a great deal of joy knowing how this would play out.
BTW, using a straight man in this case meant having someone present, Pence, who would dignify an otherwise undignified performance.
In other word, Trump was once again the pig your mom warned you not to wrestle with.
Trump, Pelosi, Schumer all got into the mud.
Trump loved every minute of it and Pelosi and Schumer got awfully dirty.
And there was Pence, representing the dignity of the White House.
