After inviting Democratic leaders to the White House?
Donald Trump tells them infrastructure talks are a no go….
Then Trump attacks Hose Speaker Pelosi because of comments about a ‘coverup’…
Trump again tries to ride roughshot OVER the House Democrats…
BTW?
While Trump wanted to work with Democrats two weeks ago?
He got grief from his party members on this…
Oh?
The investigations are NOT going away and Trump will HAVE to deal with Pelosi and the House to pass legislation in the future….
A failure to do so?
Will b ring the American Government to a grinding halt….
President Donald Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi engaged in a public and bitter feud on Wednesday, with the president breaking off bipartisan negotiations over Pelosi’s accusations of a cover-up and Pelosi bluntly responding: “I pray for the president of the United States.”
The breakdown came as Trump declared he will not work with Democrats as long as they are investigating him. The explosive encounter at the White House shattered a feeling of good bipartisan vibes stemming for positive budget talks on Tuesday and startled attendees, who said Trump made them wait, complained about their probes, canceled the meeting and left in a span of just a few minutes.
“It wasn’t really respectful of the Congress and the White House working together. He just took a pass,” Pelosi said at a news conference after she returned to the Capitol. “I pray for the president of the United States, and I pray for the United States of America.”
Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who attended the White House meeting, said it was “high drama in the Cabinet room.”
“I don’t know where this leaves us as a nation. We have so many things that have to be done for this country and they can’t be done unless we work together,” Durbin said. “If the president walks out of the meeting, it’s a setback for the country’s priorities.”
Durbin said that Democrats couldn’t get a word in, and Pelosi told the House and Senate Democrats afterward about the importance of doing an infrastructure package….
Democratic leaders blasted President Trump on Wednesday after he abruptly walked out of a meeting at the White House, saying they were shocked by his demand that they drop investigations into his administration in exchange for putting together a massive infrastructure deal.
“To watch what happened in the White House would make your jaw drop,” Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) told reporters at a press conference after Trump ripped ripped Democrats for their “phony” investigations into his administration.
“We came here very seriously,” Schumer said of the meeting, which Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the chairmen and ranking members of key House and Senate committees also attended.
The meeting was scheduled to discuss ways to pay for a tentative $2 trillion infrastructure deal. Schumer said he came to the meeting with a detailed answer to Trump’s question about where Democrats want to invest, a letter that was delivered to Democratic leaders on Tuesday….

jamesb says
DSD?
Todays performance by Donald J. Trump was just that…
A SHOW….
1. There was NOT gonna be a infrastructure bill…Pelosi and Schumer knew that….Like early immigration and healthcare utterance’s from Trump?…He says ok..And as soon as his people get him in a room they tell’m fuck ‘NO’ u can’t do this…
2. Knowing 1.?….Pelosi and Schumer show up and do THEIR show…
3. How would they pay for this?…Monoply Money?…Something that Democrats could use against GOPer’s…
4. Trump and Pelosi have tried to NOT attack each other…But Pelosi is getting pushed too impeach…She won’t…But she sure IS gonna keep jabbing and punching him with it cause he hates it and is actually afraid of it I don’t care how much they tell him it won’t happen…
5. In the end?…Trump and Pelosi will HAVE to make ‘deals’ to run the country and do other legislation…As you point out DSD…Nixon and Clinton got things done , even while being investigated…Nixon never gave stuff up…But he quit I think…
6. Also in the end?…My feeling is like they are already with Mueller stuff and Cohn stuff…The Justice Depratment WILL make deals to fend off the House dogs supoenea’s…
7. Finally?…Pelosi is smart to let Trump twist in the political wind aided by his ‘gut’ actions …
