Reporter says Trump 'stormed out' of Oval Office after Dem meeting

Source: MSN news

Los Angeles Times White House reporter Eli Stokols said Tuesday that President Trump "stormed out" of the Oval Office after a meeting Tuesday with key Democrats (Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer) and threw a folder full of papers out of frustration.

"He stormed out of the Oval, walked into an anteroom just off the Oval Office and had in his hand a folder of briefing papers. And he just scattered them out of frustration - threw them across the room," Stokols said on MSNBC's "Hardball," citing his own reporting with White House officials.

Stokols, the Los Angeles Times reporter, also said Tuesday on "Hardball" that Trump was frustrated with Schumer following the meeting.

"His old New York sparring buddy, he felt, got the better of him," Stokols said.

can't have a simple five minute conversation with people who do not hold his view because REALITY does not line up with it, so he stomps out of the room and throws a hissy fit, like a spoiled 6 year old.

Aren't we just so proud ?

I'm both embarrassed and depressed.

Fox News has destroyed our future, and there's nothing gonna be done about it.

I'm not taking anything away from Chuck or Nancy, but getting the better of Trump isn't exactly rocket science. Anyone with an IQ larger than their shoe size can better him.

Perhaps Stormy can spank him back into his happy place. Oh no, that won’t happen, he burned that bridge too. But Nancy and Chuck sure spanked him real good!
