he stood up and said there's nothing to meet about and walked out.

Wasn't he the one to suggest a meeting?

It's his usual shtick. It makes him feel like a tough guy.

Good negotiators are people with good ethics, they understand that for a lasting relationship in business there has to be a win-win solution. Everybody wins, everybody walks out happy and the doors are open for future negotiations.

trump is a buffoon with a mafia mentality, he has no class and doesn't have the faintest idea how to negotiate. His negotiation skills have always been mafia-type, intimidation, the bluff that he is a billionaire which lures unsuspecting, uninformed people into doing business with him. Why did most banks stop doing business with him? because banks are not stupid.

He is just a buffoon from the mafia, he is a total asshole with no skills of anything. How he has lured so many networks to support him during the campaign I don't know, but it speaks very loud how low our society has come. The ignorance of the USA society has reached a high that has become dangerous, and we all need to do something about it. We need to put the extra time to educate the young, to allow them to understand that the World is one, we kill it, we all die.

Reading about what has happened in Brazil, and other European countries where right-wing fanatics have taken over, the picture that came to my mind is of a big hand throwing TNT into a giant ball, and in time the ball will explode creating chaos in the entire World. South America is already screwed, Brazil with its "socialist" regime was in check, but now a Brazilian trump comes along who has sworn to destroy the Amazon, and there is no stopping global warming, deceases, and other catastrophic events.

I hate to say it, but the World is in deep shit.

Autocrats rarely are good negotiators. They are bullies who pull crass moves to try to establish themselves as an Alpha that must be obeyed.

This isn't a negotiation, it's an extortion demand. Last I checked, extortion is a crime and should be treated as such--even when the alleged president does it!

Pelosi "raised five kids. She KNOWS how to say 'no'."

That about sums up the past two years!

moment he took the oath.

Is exactly what I was thinking.

Keep digging MF45.

and temper tantrums. I want to know if he slammed the door on the way out of the room, just in case Pelosi and Schumer missed how angry he was.

and demanding full funding is that he wants to weaken Pelosi.
If she stands her ground and he does not get a 100 percent win then Pelosi is stronger.
And he cannot live with that

after his little border inspection in Texas

Gotta make the crowds look good, after all.

monies. He's gathering every quill in his quiver to stage some kind of Reichstag dumpster fire or something. He really needs to realize that he's no Cheney.

have said that there are better ways to secure the border (as well as pointing out that "the border" in discussion is NOT the major problem) and considering other ways would be a way to "negotiate."

However, for IQ45, negotiate means "MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY."

And tonight the MSM will show how Speaker Pelosi refuses to "negotiate."

I just had to turn it off

Oh yeah, that would work great

fantastic representatives...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

the suggestion of physical assault and shaming Pelosi and Schumer for being restrained?

"So you're saying Trump refused..."
And do attempt a more accurate inference next time rather than allowing your emotions to cloud critical and rational thought.

Bless your little heart.

On a very short plank advocating for violence.

Check yourself.

Physical assault is their way, not ours.

White Hood?

Physical assault?

i guess it might be the first time in his wretched life when he just cannot get his way. but give him a few minutes with the twitter machine and fox news and he'll be calling it a victory. because he really cannot lose. not ever. his pathology does not allow for it.

Even his divorces were used to display his wealth. He’s never dealt with anyone in an equal level - he picked on people who couldn’t afford to fight him in court.

This is a good sign as long as they keep him away from the nuclear buttons.

It's one thing for us to say that, but it takes on new emphasis and truth when a U.S. Senator says it about a president*.

Baby Don is trying the escalating tantrum trick. he thinks he scared the Democratic leadership by walking out of the meeting and he can use that to "prove" the the Dem. Leadership does not want to work with him. So his next tantrum will be some sort of power play, but he is getting much closer to being ignored than he thinks he is.

My prediction is the next tantrum will be his last. Much like the boy who cried wolf, one more tantrum and he will be ignored and the GOP will be looking for a way to get him out of the White House

This stupid, ignorant, childish, impulsive, inarticulate, immature behavior could spark a nuclear war.

Or does he just behave this way when dealing with women? Because he knows someone his own size might just kick his ass?

Nothing.

He has spent his life lying in deals which is why he now owes Putin and friends 4 billion and has had to betray the country to pay them back.

leadership, business, government he knows nothing. he knows how to consolidate his death cult.

The lowest IQ could do that.

support him or they wont.

He works for putin and does what he is told even though most of the time he doesnt understand what he is told.

He has no smarts other than the basic human ability to seek adulation and repeat what gets you adulation.

He has never once made a statement or comment about anything especially business that shows he knows anything about it, at all. I have followed his lies and crimes for decades and people I know in NYC have even more so and assure me my observation is accurate.

I know just from watching and listening to him he is incapable of learning and therefore knows nothing OTHER than hate sells.

It's the people who are whispering in his ear and telling him what to do. He doesn't act without having Steven Miller, Hannity, Limbaugh and his various handlers planting ideas into his fat, empty head.

in the pocketbook

Oh, for a grown-up from the administration to be in the room.

Acultually believed that his speech last night was going to be so good and persuasive that the Dems would have no choice but to give him what he wanted.

Reality has a funny way of dashing his hopes.

How will this end? Without repub help it will just go on and on.

tRump is very stubborn and won't give in.

All I know is we can't back down. Whatever short term relief we get from it will be eradicated once fascists realize all they have to do is hold the government hostage to get what they want. It would be opening Pandora's Box.

Whatever happens happens. But no retreat. If we have to carry this on until we get a new president, we will.

They, through Trump, own the shut down. They will be seriously hurt if the shut down stretches closer to the election season. They will have to work out some kind of deal or simply cave and pass a clean bill, that Trump may veto just to try to pin it all on him.

It might take a month or more but sooner or later, a handful of Senators will demand he take action. I think that's the best case scenario. Every other potential outcome is uncharted territory.

Thus giving McConnell cover to bring the clean bill up for a vote.

I just heard that!

Someone remove this unfit basket case from the office of the Presidency!

None of his go to tantrum “dealmaking” tactics are working! Fuck!

Now what? He’s never encountered anything like this before! Fuck!

I've heard the beef is all forrest raised

the very least.

And that his behavior is unacceptable.

I love it when he is visibly melting down.

trump: "I want you to compromise by giving me everything I want, including my wall."

Pelosi: "I AM your wall. That's my compromise."

trump (slamming his hand on the table): "I'm wasting my time with you. I'm going to go whine a lot on twitter about how you don't know what compromise means."

because of course he did.

I could have throttled the Reporter! I actually said not to put ideas in his head. Sure enough,next time I saw Trump he was saying he just may do that!

Really he's an addict and it's starting to show.

When you’ve had two MF’ing years to do what the flaming poopoo you damn well wanted. Whiney whiney trumpie baby want a wall you should’ve given him an ever loving wall you stupid republicans.
You just didn’t want to own it, now you want the Dems to own your mistake, fuck you.

that Nancy was like any other woman, that she would fold if pressure was put on her.

Trump had no Plan B ready because he believed the promises.

He is humiliated. He is castrated. But he is not humbled. He is more arrogant than ever. He is determined to destroy the Democrats no matter what.

You know, wringing her hands and acting "concerned" before giving him everything he wants. I'm looking at you, Collins, you ineffective shill.

not KING.

I still don't know why they don't resussitate the Gang of 8 immigration bill from 2013. It probably would have passed if John Boehner hadn't refused to allow a vote. It would certainly pass the House now.

We can't give in to this bully who has no business being president. There is a large ripple effect of the government shutdown on supporting businesses who will never be able to recover the lost revenue. That is gone forever. Pressure must be put on Republican Senators to open the government and then have hearings on border security.

Lord knows how much he owes and would probably try to skim off whatever is given. I'd like to know where the money is that has already been allotted----something over $1B and has not been spent---or is already in Russian pockets.

Not a good long term, real world strategy? Who knew!

I hope it's ripping his insides up (trump).

do something????? repubs???? The Founding Fathers never conceived of this catastrophe.

Are they being blackmailed or are their families being threatened? I ask this in all seriousness.

he snorted last night before his speech must have worn off.

World-class negotiator, that one.

You're supposed to bang your shoe against the table and scream "we will bury you!" at the top of your lungs.

Seriously guys, they REALLY need to start the process of removing Trump from office...preferably to a room with soft walls.

It’s because Junior has been subpoenaed by a House Committee, and little donnie is feeling the heat!

it really doesn't. It's pathetic even on the surface.

It was fait accompli that the whole meeting was part of Orange Julius Caesar's kabuki theater and they should know better than to feed it.

There goes the idea of the 25th amendment. (Hope that is right)

The man is a clown!
