I think they knew she would say no.

Consider that everything Trump does is stagecraft. If you believe Schumer that the moment Pelosi said no to his request, Trump got up and left, (I do) then I believe that was exactly the "gotcha" moment that gave them their talking points. Did you listen to Pence, et al after. It was all about Nancy not willing to negotiate even though they got candy.

He expects to just roll over people. He really did think that he gave a dumbass speech and now they'll give him what he wants.
