Durbin says Trump whined that he didn't want the meeting with Pelosi and Schumer today.

There were reports yesterday that Trump said the same thing just prior to his stupid televised statement last night. He felt like he was being coerced by his staff. They are desparate and grasping at straws. Shitler is flailing about and pissed. Who in the ShitHole Adminsitration will get the axe next?



DURBIN said Trump said this in WH meeting w/ congressional leaders: “I don’t know why I’m doing this. I didn’t want to do this meeting. They told me I had to do this meeting,” per @caphilltrish

There have been actors who have played Presidents real or fictional, in the past with convincing conviction and realism.

Michael Douglas
Martin Sheen
Daniel Day Lewis
Harrison Ford
Edward Hermann

Any one of these great actors could do a better job than the one we have now.

(not that I'd call what he does actual work)

I think he's sick of the office. Probably knows he's only going through the motions, anyway, until he gets slammed by Robert Mueller.

"Hey, yes, I'm in jail, but at least there's a Trump Wall on our southern border that says how great I am!"

Kevin McCarthy is 'disturbed' by the Democratic impression that Trumpski was anything but gracious and willing to negotiate. He flatly stated that Schumer and Pelosi lied about the way the Trumpster acted, noting the Squatter-in-Chief came to the meeting with pieces of candy to offer everyone.

Because we all know pieces of candy are a well-known token of genuine deal-making and serious negotiations.

Trumpski thinks he's on the schoolyard dealing with third-graders.

Oy!

I'm surprised he can manage putting one foot in front of the other without falling.

(and most tremendous) shutdown, then he'll pull the national emergency stunt. The government will open, court challenges will be filed and Don's wall will once again be no more than a cult rally talking point.

Because he only knows how to do things he’s seen on TV. I’m sure somewhere in his tiny, little pea-sized brain, he thought it would make Nancy like him.
