Trump says he's "gotten along" with Pelosi, "but now I don't think I will any more"

He had tough words as well for Ms. Pelosi, who has adamantly refused to approve even a dollar of the $5.7 billion he has sought for his border wall.

“I’ve actually always gotten along with her, but now I don’t think I will any more,” Mr. Trump said. “I think she’s doing a tremendous disservice to the country. If she doesn’t approve the wall, the rest of it’s just a waste of money and time and energy because it’s desperately needed.”

Mr. Trump has been considering an emergency declaration to spend money on a wall even without congressional approval, an action that would most likely draw a court challenge, and he said Ms. Pelosi would not be able to stop him. “I’ll continue to build the wall, and we’ll get the wall finished,” he said. “Now whether or not I declare a national emergency — that you’ll see.”

Sorry, Spanky; you can't take your ball and go home. Speaker Pelosi has both of them in a little jar on her desk.

There's only one, Donald. If you can make a case for why your stupid fucking wall is so "desperately needed," then make it. Just saying it doesn't make it so, berder breath.

When you tell a narcissist to bug off, they get angry for a while, then they miss the attention and send you roses to make up.
