'The president pouted': Staffers reveal what happened in meeting after Pelosi accused Trump



https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/the-president-pouted-staffers-reveal-what-happened-in-meeting-after-pelosi-accused-trump-of-a-cover-up/

MSNBC’s Craig Melvin reported details of Trump’s short meeting with Democrats following the president’s Rose Garden remarks.

“Two Democratic sources with knowledge of the meeting between President Trump and Democrats — again, this was a meeting set to talk about infrastructure,” Melvin reported.

“President Trump walked in and said I’m for infrastructure, trade and the farm bill and I want to do all of it,” the Democratic sources told MSNBC. “But I just heard Pelosi say horrible things. She said I’m involved in a cover up. [Democrats] had a meeting at 9 a.m. on this issue and it’s so inconsiderate.”

“You need to get all of your investigations over before we talk about anything else,” the staffers said, summarizing the president’s remarks. “The president — quote — pouted for a few more minutes and then walked away. It was exactly what he did in the shutdown meeting when he walked out.”

it's been inbred in him to not question authority figures but he has tried to figure out how to be one.

I go back far enough to remember listening to Truman on the radio in the early 1950s. Through all those presidents, look how far we have fallen. George W. was bad enough, but even he sounded like an adult with a little common sense compared to Trump.

This is the behavior of a petulant 6 year old. You would think the Republicans would want to deep six this snotty pseudo adult and cut their losses. Pence is a Religious fanatic/freak but the clown side show would end though it would not stop the march to make “The Handmaid’s Tale” a reality.

Had lunch with several of my tennis gal pals today, one brought her 5 year old Granddaughter who was more polite, better spoken, more mature than that Orange Freak.

but at least this daily dumpster fire of effrontery would end. Pence is a sneaky bastard. He'd do everything behind the scenes, then spring it on everyone. I guess it's a choice of "style", if you could call it that. One demented fool wants to shove shit right in your face, and the other will at least enclose it between two slices of white bread. Either way, they're trying to feed us shit.
