I am hearing a tale of two meetings and I find the R comments mostly unbelievable.
Pence, re Trump: "Well, he brought candy."

(4,716 posts)Trump demanded a wall. Trump refuses to reopen gov't until he gets his wall. Peloton said no. Trump walked out. Whether he yelled or not, whether he slammed the table or not are distractions.
Fact: Trump is holding us hostage to his campaign promise

(182,284 posts)He has to stay in that nasty old Un-Gold building all by himself except for the help - who he waved at but they didnt wave back. His own family bailed on him.
Hes stuck in a corner in an Oval room and its all his doing. Art of the Deal my ass.

(182,284 posts)If Trump really thought last night was enough to close the deal hes sadder than we thought. McCarthy is just feeding their propaganda machine to keep the wolves st bay at least one more day.
Chuck and Nancy have no reason to offer anything. In fact, Trump is clearly negotiating with himself. Watering down his own position at every turn. Theyve got him by the shorties and HE knows it.
If anything the whole thing was set up for Trump to DOMINATE before he eventually relents and gets NOTHING.
Thats my take anyway.

(14,971 posts)He wants to avoid a repeat of the debacle in the Oval Office when he got owned. This way R's can lie and characterize the meeting any way they want.
