Trump: 'Cryin Chuck' Schumer lied about 'temper tantrum'

Source: The Hill



BY MICHAEL BURKE - 01/10/19 08:45 AM EST

President Trump in a tweet early Thursday said that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) lied about Trump throwing a "temper tantrum" during negotiations concerning the partial government shutdown.

-snip-




Trump met Wednesday with Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) inside the White House, but said he left early because he felt it was a "total waste of time."

During the meeting, the Democratic leaders urged Trump to end the government shutdown, which is approaching its fourth week. The president during asked Pelosi if she would approve funding for a wall along the southern border within 30 days if he reopened the government. Trump then left the meeting after Pelosi denied that request.

"Again, we saw a temper tantrum because he couldn't get his way and he just walked out of the meeting,” Schumer told reporters on the West Wing driveway afterward.

and Steny Hoyer, and Dick Durbin liars too? Bc they confirmed the series of events. I believe these guys over a pathological group of liars...any day. When you lie you can't be trusted. Most people lose that honor the FIRST time they lie, (not in their 70's) from it. The Illiget' has been lying wholesale his entire life. Good grief. Imagine growing up w this H'onyock? The horror.

Your lies and childish insults are getting really old.

Not to mention extremely inappropriate coming from the President of the United States.

Knock it off already.

They are kings. They bark out orders and make work difficult because they can. Why are there so many rich old white men sexually abusing the women who work for them? Because if you are king you can do what you want to the serfs.

It's not productive and leads to numerous errors but it is how the kings of capitalism behave when conducting business. Traitor Trump is merely imitating our most successful corporate owners.

I've worked for a few. They think screaming and throwing things, yelling, insulting and being obnoxious bullies is how to motivate people to do your bidding. Unless we change how we run our businesses, we will continue this type of "leadership" and produce pampered little boys to control our society.

Traitor Trump knows no other way. If he loses this, he will work hard to bring down Pelosi and Schumer....if he can.
