Trump Reportedly Won't Accept Dems Offer to Re-Open Government Because He'd 'Look Foolish'
During a meeting with Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday, President Donald Trump reportedly said that he can’t accept Democrat’s deal that would re-open the government.
The reason? According to a source, POTUS does not want to look “foolish.”
After the meeting, Schumer told reporters that he asked Trump directly for a reason.
“We asked him to give us one good reason. I asked him directly, I said, Mr. President, give me one good reason why you should continue your shutdown of the eight Cabinet departments while we are debating our differences on homeland security,” Schumer said, according to CBS. “He could not give a good answer. So, we would hope that they would reconsider and would support the very bills that passed the Senate.”
Yet, according to the New York Times’ Julie Davis, the real reason was that Trump didn’t want to look foolish.
