I'm not convinced that Speaker Pelosi is in need of Mika Brzezinski's "advice."

After all, in the week before Trump caved, she was calling for the Dems to "give Trump what he wants."

There's a sense of self-importance that comes from a person "giving advice" to someone who knows exactly what they are doing.

There's also a sense of arrogance that comes from giving this "advice" when it is painfully obvious to anyone who is paying attention.

MSNBC’s Mika calls on Pelosi to destroy Trump over shutdown: ‘He’s not someone who plays fair’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) scored a major political victory over President Donald Trump, and MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski said she should turn up the pressure on him.

Trump agreed to sign a temporary funding bill Friday and end the government shutdown, and the “Morning Joe” co-host said Pelosi had no reason to negotiate with the president to fund his border wall.

“She cannot let the pressure off him, she’s got to keep things pretty tight and be pretty tough and only let up when she’s got him cornered into a deal,” Brzezinski said.

“He has proven time and time again not to be trustworthy and to veer off into many different directions that have been destructive, that he’s not kept his word,” Brzezinski added. “I don’t think she can negotiate publicly on Twitter with him or try to get an inch. I don’t think she can, he’s not someone who plays fair.”
