Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday defended not speaking to President Trump for the past year and maintained it's more productive to work with White House intermediaries like Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin instead.
When asked during an interview with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace if she would be open to Trump reaching out to her, Pelosi said, "It would depend on what the purpose is."
Pelosi and Trump have not spoken since a meeting at the White House exactly a year ago, on Oct. 16, 2019, about pulling U.S. troops out of northern Syria that ultimately turned into the two trading insults and the Speaker walking out with her fellow Democrats.
After that meeting, Trump tweeted out a photo of Pelosi standing up and pointing a finger at him while the almost exclusively male group of lawmakers and administration officials remained seated. "Nervous Nancy's unhinged meltdown!" Trump wrote.
Pelosi said that she was telling Trump that "all roads with you lead to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin" in the moment captured by the photo.
"What was funny about it is the White House put out that photo, because we're not even allowed to wear a smartwatch in the room," Pelosi said while reflecting on it on Friday. "They put that out and I said, 'Thank you very much, Mr. President.' "
"But we left because there was no purpose to staying there. There was no truth coming from the other side," she said.

Ground Pelosi’s gov’t plane again.
Republicans have read Rules for Radicals. If you are negotiating with Trump and you haven’t read The Art of the Deal, you are at a disadvantage.
I have the book.
What a Nasty Woman.
I'm glad she walked out immediately because after she said that nasty insult, if I was Trump, I would have thrown her out on the White House lawn by the scruff of her blue pantsuit.
When you embiggen that picture, it’s the guy in the lower left corner whose face tells the story. He’s looking at his buddy and saying without speaking, “This bitch is whack, and she’s two heartbeats away?”
The president is looking at her like she’s a fugitive from a funny farm, and everyone else in the room doesn’t want to be there. Except maybe the reporters.
“She’s says she’s not talking to me? ...Okay.”
That is some good photoshop!
