What I noticed most about the Pelosi-Schumer-Trump kerfuffle today

Was how Trump insisted on using Pelosi and Schumer's first names -- especially the former whose name he repeatedly cited while interrupting her -- in full knowledge that they would refer to him as Mr. President. It was a transparent attempt at diminishing them.

I also wish Schumer had asked to see the cards Trump waved around along with asking for specifics on the "10 terrorists," where they were nabbed, who they were and how they were caught.

those additional questions if he could have asked them, it was hard just getting the first questions asked. He did get the most important answer out of the orange balloon with lips.
