Trump-Pelosi Feud Intensifies

“The reality of Washington in 2019 is this: A meeting between President Donald Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi will very likely end with someone abruptly walking out of the room. Wednesday’s ugly encounter marks the third time in less than nine months that a meeting between two of the nation’s most powerful leaders has been derailed after a barrage of insults from the president,” Politico reports.

“Trump accused Democratic leaders of sympathizing with communists in Syria and slammed Pelosi as ‘a third-rate politician,’ before ripping a series of targets including Jim Mattis, his own former Pentagon chief. While Trump also makes clear that he doesn’t care much for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), it’s Pelosi who clearly angers the president most — a fury that has only grown since Democrats launched their fast-moving impeachment inquiry of Trump.”
