"Trump swore so frequently during today's immigration meeting he ended up apologizing to Pelosi"

Josh Dawsey @jdawsey1 4m4 minutes ago
Trump swore so frequently during today’s immigration meeting that he ended up apologizing to Pelosi. He griped about impeachment. And he called the shutdown a “strike,” drawing puzzlement in the room.

WaPo:

In their meeting, Schumer repeatedly urged Trump to open up the government, telling him it is difficult to negotiate when he is holding government hostage, according to another official familiar with the exchange.

Trump responded: “I’m not going to say it’s for leverage, but I’m not going to get a deal unless I do this,” the official said. The president often used profanity during the meeting, apologizing to Pelosi at one point for cursing so much, according to the official.

Forfeiture of all his assets and jail for the remainder of his bloated life. He has no more leverage.

He hears shutdown but his brain thinks of slowdown, like the dockworkers slowdown, and then the Republican programming kicks in and he says strike because it polls worse.

Most Parents have run into something like this with one of your own. Usually when they are busted in the act .

Only this Guy has know clue he was busted.

First rule of any negotiation is a Meeting Of the Minds. In that lies the number one deal breaker.
