WASHINGTON — President Trump slammed his hand on a table and stormed out of a White House meeting with congressional leaders on Wednesday after Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said she would not fund a wall along the southern border, dramatically escalating the confrontation over the government shutdown.
Stunned Democrats emerged from the White House meeting declaring that Mr. Trump had thrown a “temper tantrum.” The president’s allies accused Democrats of refusing to negotiate. Then he tweeted that the meeting was “a total waste of time.”

Speaker Pelosi with the shade again.
A stream of republicans came on the air afterward and painted a completely different story. It was Pelosi and Schumer who were out of control and provoked Der Gropenfuhrer into his reaction. "Nancy and Chuck", as they're referred to by the criminal republicans, refused to discuss any other solutions to the shutdown, and are totally responsible for continuing the shutdown. The republicans are totally blameless, and the Democrats treatment of Der Gropenfuhrer is shameless and pitiful. Trump's heart of gold is being besmirched by those ruthless Democrats. 
So there you have it. This is what will be playing on a continuous loop on FOX. It's all total bullshit, but we should all be aware of the new lies and distortions. 
of complete republican control in Washington, and he did nothing about his precious wall. Only after Democrats kicked the GOP's ass in the mid-terms did this wall become a "crisis". He's had bills in front of him that only required his grandiose signature that provided more money than he's seeking now, but for some reason he refused to sign them. That's because they contained language about immigration reform, DACA, etc. that he doesn't want to happen either. He wants everything his way, without giving Democrats anything in return. He truly does think he's the supreme ruler of Trumpmerica. He loves the fight, not the wall. He just wants to keep his ugly mug on the TV cameras, show his "base" that he's in a dog-fight with Democrats, and wants to keep the attention on him, not Mueller, not his blatant criminality, and certainly not the fact that his support among republicans is slipping away.
Up yours, Donnie Dim-Wit. 
He HAD his chances, but his game is "All or Nothing."
Well, he's got his "nothing" and it ain't working!
I love how people are throwing his "Art of the Deal" into discussions - the idiot has NO IDEA how to "deal" - he IS Donnie Dim-Wit! 
those responsible for running Wharton would LOVE to find a way to get his name off of anything related to them. He's a stain on their reputation! 
of the Deal?" 
What a MF-ing A**hole he continues to be!
That McConnell has said not one word during the meetings. Either he is involved or thinks Trump will fire Elaine.
Have you ever seen such a bunch of Bush retreads?I guess they call that recycling.
Some one said the other day,” You know there is chaos when you have bats*** crazy John Bolton in charge of foreign policy!”
But now we Dems get blamed because we've had the House for a week?
You're an ignorant fool.
We watched you claim responsibility for the shut-down, so be a man (HA!) and shoulder the blame like you said you would. Your damned base will support you no matter what, so 1) stop listening to your Repug media folks and 2) let the House and Senate do their jobs.
People are suffering, you monster. 
They'd damned well better - that's why they were elected!
They do have the right to negotiate - as they seem to be trying to do, but there is NO negotiating on the wall.
Not now.
Not tomorrow.
Not next month.
Not ever.
Better security? Yes
Better immigration program? Yes
But,
NO WALL FROM THIS TAXPAYER!!!!!!!!!!
