Lawrence O'Donnell (@Lawrence) Tweeted:
I've been in a lot of presidential meetings in that room and I never saw anyone literally stand up to a president like that because no one ever had to.
Only Trump would tweet this perfect picture of his weakness & humiliation. @SpeakerPelosi finest moment. https://t.co/wca1oSqytY

I can't imagine how Trump could look at that picture and think it made PELOSI look bad. But he's good at self-delusion.

MontanaMama
(23,239 posts)I looked closely at the photo...there are only two men in that whole room looking at her when she was speaking. The rest of those cowards were looking at their laps. They KNOW she had the MF by the short hairs and the were hoping they werent next.

(10,110 posts)She looks calm, cool and collected firmly telling Trump the way it is.
The rest of the GOP are just sitting there like dead wood and Trump looks a little shocked/stupefied.

Of course the press have since proven their corruption by completely fake-newsing what happened. And I'm guessing he's still raging.
