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.

He should! Take the scraps from Nancy and fund the rest with donations from go fund me. Make them tax exempt.
Who, besides President Trump, is FIGHTING to build it NOW?
Shes got short legs!
Two steps...POTUS, Trump!!! First throw both Schumer and Pelosi out of the oval office. (Both have zero dignity and loyalty to the nation). Second shut the Government down until they come around!!! These people “Democrats” are both traitors and turncoats to their country and its legal citizens!!! Case closed!!!
JEB'S commemorative 2016 Guacamole Bowls?
Yep, and the little that does get shut down ..the MSM writes stories about how someone died due to government being shut down..ha ha
Please. I watched it and that was NOT a shouting match. Heated, yes...shouting, no. What a bunch of wimps these so-called reporters are.
Yes, but that was never going to be an outright thing. My view is that it as always going to be via a combination of decreased remittances to Mexico from the US, potential taxes on remittances, changes in trade deals, and by a decrease in things like medical expenses and other money spent on illegal immigration - which would then have to be dealt with in Mexico by Mexico.
Watching the news coverage on Fox, you can tell Schumer is unhappy about the cameras.
Makes me laugh.
Is Nancy going to get Air Force 3 again?
PELOSI: I dont think you should have a debate in front of the press.”
All government business should be in front of the cameras!
Volunteers - hello no. Round up all illegal immigrants and have them build the wall to pay what they have cost the American taxpayers.
Love it! License official Wall merch. Sell ad space on the Wall, sponsorships. Can’t get more American that that, especially since THIS wall is being built to keep foreigners OUT, NOT our people IN.
Back in the late 80s, I stood on a hill overlooking a part of the wall East Germany built. I realized then the difference. And that difference makes all the difference.
Trump's invitation to these two is intended to send a message. I'm just not sure exactly what the message is. LOL.
Bring in Acosta? ../s
A first, history has been made, Schumer unhappy with a camera!
That they came to Trump says it all.
Dont care one way or the other.
The point is to build it. Is anyone here sure if it comes from the massive amount un the American budget?
Me too. I dont Trust Pence on this. I do think Trump knows no Wall no re-election.
Trump should start a declassify everything extravaganza. FISA et al.
Let’s see what comes out of a bunch of sunlight.
And also a 40% tax on all cross border personal wire transfers.
