Nancy Pelosi compares meeting with Trump to having a "tinkle contest with a skunk"

"It's like a manhood thing for him — as if manhood could ever be associated with him — this wall thing," Pelosi said, a Democratic aide who declined to be named told NBC News.

Pelosi, who is expected to become the House Speaker next month, made the comments at a meeting of the Steering and Policy Committee after she and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke with Trump at the White House about the border wall and a possible government shutdown.

"The press is all there! Chuck is really shouting out," Pelosi recounted to her colleagues of the meeting with Trump. "I was trying to be the mom. I can’t explain it to you. It was so wild."

She added, "It goes to show you: You get into a tinkle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you."

That's what she called it. And it really got under his skin.

And she told him that votes have to be negotiated. He tried to tell her how to do the job, she slammed it right back at him.

Would love to have hidden cameras and microphones in the White House when this day is explained to Hair Furor.
