Trump vehemently denies "raging" at Schumer & Pelosi by raging in a tweet about his raging.

I was extremely calm yesterday with my meeting with Pelosi and Schumer, knowing that they would say I was raging, which they always do, along with their partner, the Fake News Media. Well, so many stories about the meeting use the Rage narrative anyway - Fake & Corrupt Press!

1. Trumpy is SCARED!!!!!!

All the news coverage of his blow up and rant in the Rose Garden has gone viral all over the world, not just in the U.S.

He has this trip to the UK and Normandy coming up. The optics for him do not look good. A Speech before Parliament? Not going to happen.

A ride in the Queen's Gilded Golden coach through the streets of London? Fogedaboudit!

4. He hates it when his own tactics are used against him...

I'm talking about his false accusations and bullshit, mostly. Frankly, I don't recall Pelosi and Schumer saying that Trump "raged" at them. That came out later, I guess. Mostly, I recall people saying how childish he acted.

It's well known that he has almost no impulse control, his ability to rant and rage almost on demand is one of his primary tactics in interpersonal relationships. Most people won't fight back in an effort to calm him down. But that doesn't work, of course. Trump just considers that a "success."

7. That seems a little subdued

At least for trump. Did someone get him to tone it down a little? Maybe someone gave him a pacifier.

I think the stories about him throwing a tantrum are getting to him.
