President Trump had a “meltdown” and called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) a “third-rate politician” during a meeting Wednesday with congressional leaders on the situation in Syria, Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters after they left the meeting early.
The White House had invited leadership and top committee members of both parties and chambers of Congress to discuss Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria.
That withdrawal paved the way for Turkey to initiate an onslaught against Syrian Kurdish forces that were instrumental in the U.S.-led fight against ISIS and has been widely criticized by lawmakers across the political spectrum.
Just before lawmakers left for the meeting, the House passed a resolution in a 354-60 vote that rebuked Trump’s decision to retreat from Syria.
Pelosi attributed Trump’s comments to being “shaken” by the overwhelming nature of the House vote, where 129 Republicans sided with Democrats.
“That’s why we couldn’t continue in the meeting because he just wasn’t relating to the reality of it,” Pelosi said.

The truth always hurts...
Far too kind to the treasonous bitch.
3rd rate?
Why the compliment?
I see the President was being kind.
Notice who stormed out of the meeting to set the narrative. What they accuse you of is what they do.
For Nazi Pelousy, that's high praise! I would have given her Fifth or Sixth Rate ...
Democrats didn’t get their way despite being pushing, unreasonable, and aggressive.
I wish he wouldn’t praise her.
That’s it!!! I can’t take Trump pussy footing around any longer....
Never forget Democrats ALWAYS project what they did onto others and then put on their fake ‘poor pitiful me’ faces.
Who cares, there has been no vote to declare war, so congress has no say about pulling out
He was being kind....................
“The truth always hurts...”
beat me to it.... they went into the meeting looking for a reason to walk out... they have done that before.... Trump was mean and told the truth... suck it up Nancy... you were probably good at that back in the days of JFK.
I think Trump was being nice after dinner of the crap the Rats have pulled.
“the House passed a resolution in a 354-60 vote that rebuked Trump’s decision to retreat from Syria”
It appears a whole bunch of House Republicans also voted for this resolution.
You beat me to it.
Nazi Pelousy can’t even speak coherently but it’s Trump who has a “meltdown”. Thanks, lame-stream media! We already know who’s side you’re on...
he praises her far too much, far far beyond what she deserves
but
i guess its just part of his role as our president
As with many things, the idea of damning with faint praise can be traced back to the ancient Greeks. Almost two thousand years ago, a philosopher called Favorinus observed that faint and half-hearted praise can often be more harmful than loud and persistent abuse.
