Speaker Pelosi on Trump's anticipated offer this afternoon:



Speaker Pelosi: “Unfortunately, initial reports make clear that his proposal is a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives."

Trump thinks he knows what to do. He is much too stupid to know..that he doesn't know what to do

I remember reading about those people he stiffed, by not paying for services that they provided. He might offer, 10 percent or less or nothing. Of course, once the services were rendered, they expected to be paid. Trump did this to some of his lawyers too...It seems to me to be like that,
..Trump will offer and unacceptable deal, and then blame Pelosi for not accepting the deal. And the blame will be loud and constant...and more loud...

...It won't work. Pelosi is in a different "class" than Trump. Trump will then blame Pelosi endlessly. It still won't work. Trump thinks it will work, because he thinks he is "smart" and knows how to "negotiate"..

...Trump is too stupid to know that he is stupid. He does not know how "to negotiate" he knows how "to demand".

..That is the essence of Mr. Trump.

My family stopped doing anything with him because no matter where it was he'd figure out some way at the end to bitch so loudly the management would write it off or comp him future services just to shut him up.

We need the Democratic party to do it's job and act as a check and balance to this toddler of a president. Pelosi takes the heat since she is the Speaker, but the entire party needs to stand up behind her and Chuck Schumer both.
