President Trump will meet with congressional leaders on Monday, just ahead of an Oct. 1 deadline for lawmakers to reach an agreement on a spending bill that would avert a government shutdown, multiple sources familiar with the plans told CBS News Saturday.

Mr. Trump will meet with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the sources said.

Earlier this week, Mr. Trump said that he had canceled a meeting with Schumer and Jeffries, calling their "demands" for the spending bill "unserious and ridiculous."

In a joint statement Saturday, Schumer and Jeffries said that Mr. Trump had "once again agreed to a meeting in the Oval Office," and adding that they were "resolute in our determination to avoid a government shutdown." With the deadline fast approaching, Schumer called Thune on Friday and urged him to get Mr. Trump to meet, an aide to Schumer told CBS News. Punchbowl was first to report the meeting.

4. A lot of name-calling from trump..........

along with a litany of the evils of Democrats which, of course, are non-existent.
Like "war ravaged" Portland, Oregon.
And if he wants to talk about lawlessness, make sure it's about him and his corrupt "administration."

and berate Schumer and Jeffries for not saying “thank you”.

8. Schumer and Jeffries should stand them up; just not show up. They're in the minority.

Fuck the republicans.

It would make the case that we're in the minority once the republicans take everyone's health care away and screw everything up. Our hands would be clean.

6. Trump will make the Repugs make a deal. He's a coward.
