Someone needs to educate the president that the three branches of government do not operate under contract law... :roll:

It's word parsing over a bad choice of words. But then again not being a constitutional scholar, maybe there is such a thing. Trump is not a career politician that's why regulars love him and the left hates him. He does not poll test and read someone else's words from a teleprompter, so yeah, humans make mistakes.

And of course he tweets this to Nancy because she is the audience he wants to reach. What's the point of taunting her if nobody knows about it? Yeah, negotiation by taunt. That's an awesome strategy! Neener, neener!

And as far as the wording, what does that matter? Trumpsters wouldn't know the difference.

Read between the lines. He's really pissed because she bitch slapped him on the SOTU. He's trying to figure out a snappy comeback. The "your flight is cancelled" just didn't have quite the sting he wanted. He's obsessing right now. Wait for the next few tweets. He'll come up with something.

Nancy Pelosi was able to work with George w bush on passing important legislation because Bush, despite all of his faults, knew when to admit he was in a position that required negotiation. He admitted that his party had been whipped at the elections in 2006.

Trump? He can’t admit the idea of him being in a position of weakness.

If you were going to have brain surgery and the guy that came in was a plumber, would you say anything? That argument of not being a career politician sure turned out well.

The government must remain closed and the wall must be built because otherwise Trump "would look foolish," and that must not happen. It is a matter of national security.

Congress may work with the president, but they do not work for The president.

You're suggesting that Congress is a co-equal branch of the government. Where did you get such an idea?

Trump never fulfilled all of his contract obligations when in business. He stiffed a lot of those that he had contracts with. Why do we expect him to fulfill any of his promises while president.

Oh Please Donald. You screwed yourself out of this deal when you nixed the CoDel's Air Force plane and on the same day sent Melania to Florida on an Air Force plane. Though I would not be surprised if Melania wanted to stage a break out from the WH at all costs.

So yea....its NO Donald. IDIOT!

It looks like the TDS fever has run it's course if that is the best you can do! LOL. How is it going to be sustained for nearly a year, when this is the best you can do? Very weak sauce in deed!

TDS? Trump Dream Sickness; because you have to be dreaming to believe his Bull****!

I do miss having a president who studied constitutional law. I miss having a president who actually read the Cobstitution.
