Trump Denies He Threw a Temper Tantrum

May 22, 2019 · 11:15 pm ET · Leave a Comment

President Trump denied on Twitter House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) description of his exit from a meeting with Democratic leadership earlier in the day.

Said Trump: “In a letter to her House colleagues, Nancy Pelosi said: ‘President Trump had a temper tantrum for us all to see.’ This is not true. I was purposely very polite and calm, much as I was minutes later with the press in the Rose Garden. Can be easily proven. It is all such a lie!”
