Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi Cancel Planned WH Meeting After President Donald Trump's Tweet | MSNBC

The Great Deal Maker at work: Preface a meeting by saying the meeting is a waste of time and no deal is possible.

[ThEBeSt-gxze]

The great negotiator strikes again ! 🚮

[theshadowknows]

Good job, Chuck and Nancy. Finally grew some balls. Make that clown beg for democratic help.

[kathleensmitholdwhitewoman]

Glad they said FU. After his racist comments in front of great Veterans he doesnt deserve any consideration. Let there be a shut down.

[gonefishing]

Meeting with Trump to negotiate a bipartisan deal is a waste of time. Just because Trump agrees to an acceptable compromise dose not mean he will stick with the agreement. He goes back on his promises all the time. He even breaks his word with senior GOP politicians.

[andrewvelonis]

Their response was too kind. He publicly insults them. Opposition party or not, that's not a legitimate way to conduct a Presidency.

[rudai]

Trump, divide and hate is his strategy. Working pretty well.

[lucasnorthrup]

I have to say I can't blame them. If I were Trump I would've just waited until we discussed the issues rather than just attacking them.

[spacegoat]

This is so awesome. Trump's one negotiating "tactic", which he tries EVERY single time, is to pretend like he doesn't care and is about to walk away from negotiations if he doesn't get concessions. Chuck and Nancy respond with "cool, we're out then", making him look like the clown that he is.

[susieque]

You don't forfeit because the other team says they don't see a loss.

[JimFortune]

The Art of the Doesn't see a Deal.

[jacksparrow]

And people wonder why nothing gets done in DC

[fnikitathomas]

Why were they meeting with him in the first place? The Wonder Twins should be actively fighting this tax bill tooth and nail instead of boot licking ...

[achange]

Hope the government closes down.... permanently.

[stanleycoleman]

Proof that America is the furthest thing from a meritocracy.

[jtbfii]

Trump wasn't going to make a deal anyways after they made a fool out of him in the last meeting.

[wtf]

Mueller is giving him stress now he can't focus on his job..not like he ever does btw.

[gwen]

There is something wrong with POTUS with all of this crazy tweeting.

[shauniebnaturalista]

Hold his tax cut and all spending HOSTAGE until he finalizes a deal for those DACA kids. We PROMISED them we would not use their registration against them. They PAID to be in the program. Anything other than honoring that program is a breach of contract and they should sue Donald Dump friggin CROSSEYED.

[antoinedoinell]

There is no discourse w/ Trump. It's imo the biggest problem in American politics aside from the fact that Trump is president.
