"BREAKING: GOP consultant tells me Trump is absolutely enraged by the news coverage of his meeting with Pelosi and Schumer today. Trump apparently blames Pence for not speaking up. He thinks Pence lost it for him. And he wishes he never held the meeting, calling it a set up.

(9,426 posts)when it comes to his wall. What is in it for him? A cool Billion $$$? He is so insistant about this there has to be more to it, since he does not worry about illegals working at his golf courses. We will eventually find out what he really has invested in this stupid wall.
I always thought it to be a show for his dipshit cult members. He thinks it makes him look strong and presidential, or something.
I don't know what runs through his mind. He is crazy as hell!

Trump ran on building that wall without the slightest idea of the feasibility of building it.
Schumer pushed him in a corner.

I am sure that Trump or someone in association with him has a financial stake in the building of the wall. Just as important however, is the symbolism. If there is an actual section of wall that Trump is able to build, he will go stand in front of it, put his name around it, and claim it as an ultimate victory against his opponents.

Let's face it trump (and pence in his silence) got his ass kicked on public TV. He thought he was going to "put" Nancy in her "place" and, based on past interactions, thought Chuck would cower. He thought wrong and got a little taste of what's to come.
This man is truly scared.
Get 'em Nancy.
dameatball
(7,398 posts)went off script and never asked for Pence's thoughts on anything. That is pure Trump. Why in the hell would you make the VP of the USA come out and sit on this stage and say NOTHING? Unless you meant to humiliate and diminish him. This was nothing more than Trump's ego getting him to go nertz. Whoever set this thing up is an idiot and I thank him or her.
