Pelosi gave Trump the 'middle finger' by only sending aides to meet with his negotiation team [View all]

During a panel discussion on Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and her new power as House Speaker again, a CNN panelist noted that the Democratic leader appears to be showing up Donald Trump whenever she can.

Addressing a budget negotiation meeting helmed by Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday, Politico political analyst Eliana Johnson:

“I’d add one point to the dynamic played out yesterday when Trump sent to negotiate over the shutdown was the vice president of the United States and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner,” she observed.
“Nancy Pelosi sent two aides and a former administration official.

This is a case study of the new dynamic where she basically gave him the middle finger.
I’m not sure the president picked up on that,” she added to laughter from the panel.

Speaker Pelosi is not going to show up every time Trump calls for a meeting.
She is not going to 'dance to his tune'.
