Trump: Top Democrats Who Skipped WH Meeting Are 'All Talk, No Action'

Source: Talking Points Memo




By ESME CRIBB Published NOVEMBER 28, 2017 4:28 PM

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said top Democratic lawmakers who skipped a meeting at the White House after he blasted them on Twitter are “all talk, no action.”

Flanked by empty chairs with name cards for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Trump said he was “not really that surprised” the Democratic leaders decided not to attend a scheduled meeting at the White House.

“We have a lot of differences. They’re weak on crime. They’re weak on illegal immigration,” Trump said. “They decided not to show up. They have been all talk and they have been no action. And now it’s even worse. Now it’s not even talk. So they’re not showing up for the meeting.”

Schumer and Pelosi announced earlier Tuesday that they were not attending the meeting after Trump criticized them on Twitter and said he did not “see” the possibility of a bipartisan deal to pass a bill that would prevent a shutdown early in December.

what were Nancy and Chuck to do?

Figure he was just a pathological liar that says the opposite of what he means?

Or hold him accountable for what he says?

(they probably flipped a coin today )

I can't watch him or I have to puke or have a heart attack. Do you think Santa has a secret backdoor channel to Mueller? Any Christmas wishes?
