An Oval Office meeting with President Trump, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and presumptive incoming speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi Tuesday spiraled out of control — in Pelosi's words — over funding the border.
With a potential government shutdown looming less than two weeks away, Pelosi told Mr. Trump, "you will not win" on the border wall. The president demanded border wall funding — and said he's not afraid the shut down the government over it.
Who thought it was good idea to have the press and public witness the bickering? This was a delay release as well......

Trump is just going through the motions...giving the Dems a chance to do the right thing...letting them publicly expose their hypocritical opposition.
In the meantime, he is telling the People that their opposition doesn't matter. He will build the wall.
Despite the large Caravans that WERE forming and heading to our Country, people have not been able to get through our newly built Walls, makeshift Walls & Fences, or Border Patrol Officers & Military. They are now staying in Mexico or going back to their original countries.......

.....Ice, Border Patrol and our Military have done a FANTASTIC job of securing our Southern Border. A Great Wall would be, however, a far easier & less expensive solution. We have already built large new sections & fully renovated others, making them like new. The Democrats,.....

....however, for strictly political reasons and because they have been pulled so far left, do NOT want Border Security. They want Open Borders for anyone to come in. This brings large scale crime and disease. Our Southern Border is now Secure and will remain that way.......

.....I look forward to my meeting with Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi. In 2006, Democrats voted for a Wall, and they were right to do so. Today, they no longer want Border Security. They will fight it at all cost, and Nancy must get votes for Speaker. But the Wall will get built...

....People do not yet realize how much of the Wall, including really effective renovation, has already been built. If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall. They know how important it is!

One thing that definitely stood out for me was ... Chuck and Nancy don't want to have a discussion in front of cameras. :lamo
They were just doing damage control at the press conference.One thing that definitely stood out for me was ... Chuck and Nancy don't want to have a discussion in front of cameras. :lamo
While you meant Trump, I know Chuck Schumer. There is an old saying, "the most dangerous place to stand is between Chuck Shumer and a news camera."Out of the three of them? Only one loves media attention.

So you do not understand how the US government works. I recommend learning how a bill becomes a law, and who controls government spending. Let me help you get started:

It's OK, he might not be from around here.
I thought the Pentagon had a slush fund?

Do you think we can build a wall to keep him out? I hear Mexico will pay for it...
Pelosi knows that there never will be a wall. People need to stop clinging to this misguided dream. The problem is Trump thinks he has the votes for it or something like it.

Trump Oval Office meeting with Pelosi, Schumer spirals over border wall — live updates
WOW. He just got utterly, completely destroyed.
Just look at Pence: https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1072540867590848514
They tag-teamed him so hard that he:
A. Insisted a lot of the wall was built
B. THEN insisted that it wasn’t built
C. THEN demanded money to build a wall that he said was somehow built and not yet built
D. Made himself responsible for a potential shutdown
E. Whine about winning the Senate and then insisting upon as if it were important in the context of the talk.
Eventually he is going to claim that the wall is built and ONLY his supporters can see it. Just like in that Our Cartoon President episode.
