'His word isn't good': Dems don't trust Trump to make shutdown deal
Donald Trumps meeting Tuesday with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer may go a long way toward determining whether the government enters a partial shutdown before Christmas.
But as Democrats seriously re-engage with Trump for the first time in nearly a year, their broad distrust of the president has expectations for a deal at rock bottom.
Weve had limited success in dealing with this president, said Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). His word isnt good. Within 48 hours he reverses himself. Its very difficult to enter into a long-term agreement.
The House and Senate Democratic leaders have been here before. Multiple times over the past two years they thought they'd cut a deal with Trump only to see him swiftly trash Chuck and Nancy and demand hefty conservative concessions.
