GOP officially in crisis mode over Individual-1's latest meltdown
GOP officially in crisis mode over Trump’s latest meltdown
Republicans are not adjusting well to Democrats' retaking power.
Republicans are scrambling in a desperate attempt to save face after Trump’s humiliating meeting with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
Like Trump, they are failing.
Republicans were forced to respond after a White House meeting Tuesday, when Trump attempted to negotiate with Pelosi and Schumer — in front of television cameras — over the year-end spending bills needed to keep the government open past Dec. 21. Trump made a complete fool of himself by whining and yelling and throwing a tantrum more suited for a daycare center than the White House.
In the midst of his meltdown, Trump said he would proudly shut down the government unless Congress agreed to fund his racist border wall to the tune of $5 billion.
As an NPR reporter noted, “To be clear, this statement makes it VERY hard for Congressional Republicans to keep saying a shutdown would be Democrats’ fault. The president is literally claiming responsibility.”

Pelosi has no plans to cower in front of Trump. She’ll stand up to him — and in doing so, stand up for Americans who are sick and tired of Trump’s childish antics. - ShareBlue

Nancy got her points across quite clearly I thought.
