Trump refuses to invite Democrats who helped pass trade deal to his bill signing

By Emily Singer -January 28, 2020 10:18 AM

Trump is snubbing a bunch of Democrats who helped get the trade agreement passed — including Nancy Pelosi.

Donald Trump plans to host a bill signing ceremony on Wednesday for the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement, the renegotiated North American free trade agreement, which passed earlier in January.

However, despite the fact that many House Democrats — including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — were essential to passing the deal, they will not be at the bill signing ceremony, because Trump refused to invite them, Politico reported.

So Trump will take a victory lap on the trade agreement — but not alongside Democratic lawmakers who worked on provisions for the bill that helped it soar to passage.

"It's a little petty of him," Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) told Politico. "Actually, there were more Democrats who voted in favor than Republicans in the House side."

to haunt the Orange Anus.

If it had not been for Speaker Pelosi,this bill would have never seen the light of day. The Lady keeps knee capping the Sucker with little Political moves that help the Nation and in the end will Tombstone the Orange Anus.
