Trump called Pelosi a 'third-rate politician' in first encounter between the leaders
Source: Washington Post
At their first meeting since the impeachment inquiry began, President Trump called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) a "third-rate politician," Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday. Trump had also lashed out at Pelosi earlier Wednesday, saying she has "done this country a tremendous disservice."
The president's comments came as Trump's Republican allies escalated their attacks on the proceedings -- accusing Democrats of "Soviet-style tactics" -- as another witness testified behind closed doors on Capitol Hill.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), meanwhile, told Republican senators that the Senate will probably meet six days a week during the impeachment trial, which he expects to begin around Thanksgiving.
House investigators are hearing from Michael McKinley, the former senior adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, behind closed doors. McKinley resigned last week amid worsening morale at the State Department and widespread concern that Pompeo has done little to defend diplomats who became ensnared in efforts by Trump to get Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

(57,600 posts).@LeaderHoyer on meeting that just ended with Trump: "You're gonna hear the president say we walked out -- we were offended, deeply, by his treatment of the Speaker... I have served with 6 presidents... never have I seen a president treat so disrespectfully a coequal branch."

.@GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy serves a word salad while blaming Pelosi for Trump berating her: "To storm out of a meeting, which I've watched time before, during other crisis [sic], is really not-- the ability of a speaker, or the style of how a Speaker should carry herself." #wut

In medicine, decompensation is the functional deterioration of a structure or system that had been previously working with the help of allostatic compensation. Decompensation may occur due to fatigue, stress, illness, or old age. When a system is "compensated", it is able to function despite stressors or defects. Decompensation describes an inability to compensate for these deficiencies. It is a general term commonly used in medicine to describe a variety of situations.

In psychology, the term refers to the inability to maintain defense mechanisms in response to stress, resulting in personality disturbance or psychological imbalance. Some who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder or borderline personality disorder may decompensate into persecutory delusions to defend against a troubling reality.

Yes that will make them think harder than their ability.

(43,281 posts)"3rd grade politician"
I guess there will be no video, but if she turned his phrase to reflect Trump's intellect upon him, this is a masterstroke indeed.
Everyone knows who the child is in the White House.
