President Trump threatens shutdown in meeting with Pelosi, Schumer
In an Oval Office meeting between President Trump, VP Pence, and Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, President Trump threatened a government shutdown over border wall funding.
This is what happen at the end of the press conference.
Did you see:Trump claimed that, because she is working to nail down the votes to become speaker, “Nancy’s in a siutation where it’s not easy for her to talk right now?”
Pelosi answered: “Please don’t characterize the strength that I bring to this meeting.”
Pelosi repeatedly asked the president to take the encounter off-camera but it continued for nearly 20 rancorous minutes before Trump ejected the media.
WHO is going to PAY FOR THE WALL? MEXICO!!!! WHO? MEXICO!!! I wonder why you don't hear that chant anymore?
We do hear that chant today Ron. I just heard it many many times on Ali Velshi's show. Now did you notice Schumer say they could do the same thing they did last year and everything would be fine? I will post what Trump said when he signed the spending bill last year. To paraphrase, he said there was NO ****ING WAY HE WOULD SIGN SUCH A BILL EVER AGAIN!!! I'm sure you remember, don't you Ron?
P.S. Pay attention and you will see how Pelosi kept the conversation going on front of the press. Then she and Schumer immediately aborted the meeting and came out to address the press.
STEVE MY QUESTION IS ON THE FLOOR: "Did you see:Trump claimed that, because she is working to nail down the votes to become speaker, “Nancy’s in a siutation where it’s not easy for her to talk right now?”
Pelosi answered: “Please don’t characterize the strength that I bring to this meeting.” Did you see Trump's disrespect to Nancy Pelosi, do you see that?
I really don't believe what he said but if I have not seen this report for myself and watched the words come right out the president's mouth, I would not believe it.
I watched these words come right out of his very own mouth and their is no mistaken that. “I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck,” Trump said, insisting the public doesn’t want criminals and others coming into the country. “I’m going to shut it down for border security.”
Then Nancy popped back telling him that he don't have the votes in The House and she challenged him to prove it. WOW!!!
"Did you see:Trump claimed that, because she is working to nail down the votes to become speaker, “Nancy’s in a siutation where it’s not easy for her to talk right now?”
Pelosi answered: “Please don’t characterize the strength that I bring to this meeting.” Did you see Trump's disrespect to Nancy Pelosi, do you see that?
So, you agree with the president on shutting down the government, is that right?
What happen to that LIE that got him elected, That MEXICO was going to paid for the wall?
"Did you see:Trump claimed that, because she is working to nail down the votes to become speaker, “Nancy’s in a siutation where it’s not easy for her to talk right now?”
YES Ron. And I agree with the President.
Pelosi answered: “Please don’t characterize the strength that I bring to this meeting.” Did you see Trump's disrespect to Nancy Pelosi, do you see that?
YES Ron. And I agree with the President.
So, you agree with the president on shutting down the government, is that right?
YES Ron. I agree with the President, to not sign the spending bill unless he gets the funding for the wall.
What happen to that LIE that got him elected, That MEXICO was going to paid for the wall?
It wasn't a lie Ron. You have never understood his meaning and never will. First we need to build the wall and THEN, Mexico will PAY.
I am sure you remember that Trump, who has taken a hard stance on immigration, has called for a border wall since early in his presidential campaign. He said Mexico would pay for it, which Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has told Trump more then once that Mexico will not pay anything for a wall.
Now why don't you believe Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto?
For one thing Ron, Mexico has a new President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Saying Mexico will pay for the wall is like Pelosi saying to pass the ACA so you could read it. Build the wall and you will see how Mexico pays for it.
López Obrador tapped into the same kind of populist support that Trump did, pitching himself as an outsider candidate who would fight for the people. He has previously spoken out against the U.S. president’s plans for a border wall.
López Obrador has written a book titled Oye, Trump (Listen Up, Trump), which slams the border wall and Trump’s attitude toward migrant workers, Politico reported. He has also promised supporters that Mexico “will never be the piñata of any foreign government.”
Where is your prove that say President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador will pay for a wall?
Let's take one step at a time Ron. The President has said he will shut down the government if he doesn't get 5 billion for the wall. We are waiting for that to happen, to see if Congress cares about the security of Americans or if they only care about their own sorry asses.
Don't you find it funny Steve, that Trump has control of both houses since Trump won the presidency and the Republicans did not give Trump $5 billion for that wall in two years? LOL...WOW!!!
Now in the last three weeks of the changing of the guard in The House from Republican to the Democrats, here comes TRUMP talking about he would be proud to shut down the government if he don't get funding for a wall. Now don't you find that FUNNY?
What's wrong with you memory Ron? Trump got 750 BILLIONS when he signed the spending bill he GUARANTEED he would NEVER sign the likes of which again. Schumer thinks he can pull this same trick again, and the President made damn sure Schumer knows he won't.
The Bills have reached a bipartisan agreement, we both will soon see if this government will shut-down while Trump still maintain the power in bout houses, this is his last hope for a wall.
Remember Ron, Congress can pass what they want and the President can refuse to sign it. Then we will see if your House Democrats have the votes to override his veto.
That is true but remember Steve, elections are coming up in TWO YEARS and if the President can refuse to sign any bill that will help the American people will hurt his chances for reelection. He can play hardball if he wants.
Trump is doing what he promised the American people he would do. That is not "despite the needs of" Ron, it's because of the CHOICE of the American people.
Steve, As was the case throughout the presidential campaign, more Americans continue to oppose that wall.
By a 21-point margin — 57 percent to 36 percent — Americans think the president should compromise on the wall to avoid a government shutdown, rather than stand firm. About two-thirds of Republicans say the opposite, and the president has been focused on maintaining his base.
YOUR QUESTION: How did Trump get elected campaigning on 25 billions for the wall if 57% oppose 5 billions in funding now?
MY REPLY: Trump won the outdated, the old-fashioned, outmoded, unfashionable, behind the times electoral college from what I understand are composed of 13 states, date back to a time when only men could vote and Women could not and in this country slavery was well and alive. In my opinion Steve, this outmoded form of picking a president, which denies the average voter the right to have his/her vote count has long outlived its usefulness and should be abolished and that is how TRUMP became President of The United States of America.
YOUR QUESTION: I've seen the poll Ron.How did Trump get elected campaigning on 25 billions for the wall if 57% oppose 5 billions in funding now?
MY REPLY: Who's going to pay for the WALL, MEXICO!!! I know that You remember, that chant, now don't you? Now those was Trump's supporters which today many of them have left Trump's camp because they realized now that Americans have been LIED TOO BY TRUMP.
We supporters ALWAYS knew what Trump meant when he AND WE said Mexico will pay for the wall. And if the Electors are still choosing the President, as enshrined in the Constitution, and you don't like it then WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T CHANGED IT!!!
YOUR COMMENT: We supporters ALWAYS knew what Trump meant when he AND WE said Mexico will pay for the wall.
MY REPLY: I still don't know, what did you supporters ALWAYS knew what Trump meant when he AND WE said Mexico will pay for the wall?
YOUR COMMENT: and if the Electors are still choosing the President, as enshrined in the Constitution, and you don't like it then WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T CHANGED IT!!!
MY REPLY: This is the first time this has ever happen in my life time that the popular vote was not the winner of the race for president since slavery and I know that a bill to change that Constitutional provision will not come to the floor of the senate this session because of Republican rule.
It's nothing to do with what party holds the Senate Ron. Constitutional amendments need to be approved by the STATES of our NATIONAL UNION. As far as the wall, I know you know what is meant by the phrase, that so-and-so "will pay for it". For example, "in 2020 the Democrats will pay for their congressional inaction".
Are you for real Steve? Did you pass the eight grade Constitution TEST?
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. WOW!!! You are talking like you just got of the boat, WOW!!!
