Story of the Angel moms and appearing in Rose Garden....

[riversedge]

Interesting story. I feel for these families, while at the same, they were being exploited by Trump at his wild news conferences.

A lot of news broke in the last few days off my twitter account about the angel moms and a meeting with Trump about the border bill. I want to clarify how things actually went down:

Angel moms came to DC early in the week, trying to schedule meetings with Trump, Schumer, and Pelosi.
Schumer's office granted them a meeting, Pelosi's office called the police on them, but Trump's WH respectfully said they couldn't take a meeting.

According to two sources, the order was coming right from Mulvaney to stop a meeting w/ the angel moms. The WH has ways of stopping info from coming to Trump, many members of the WH team who are hostile to the MAGA movement keep information from ever reaching POTUS' desk

With Trump in the dark, Angel Families and their organizers brainstormed how to get POTUS' attention. They floated multiple ideas but time was running out with a majority of them having return flights on home scheduled on Thursday

They decided upon a press conference outside the WH where they would denounce the border bill. The WH caught wind of this and panicked, it would be horrible optics especially given that they had worked so hard trying to stop criticism from conservative media outlets

Mercedes Schlapp called one of the organizers, asking that they turn around and stated that Trump was fighting for them w/ this bill. The organizer refused to give saying that $1.375 billion wasn't enough for all these dead Americans.

With Mercedes unsuccessful, Kellyanne Conway called saying and also argued that they shouldn't do this to Trump. The fight got heated, words were exchanged, but in the end the Angel Families refused to give up their press conference in front of the White House.

Kellyanne was visibly upset after the conversation, Trump walked in the room and noticed something was wrong. After a week of keeping him in the dark someone relented and told him about the Angel Families.

As the Angel Families rolled near the White House, Trump called the organizer and stated he wanted to meet with them, that he had no idea, and invited them for a meeting at 9:15 AM on Friday.

Most of the Angel Families had left by that point but a few were there. But those that were there were happy to meet Trump. It was Trump's idea to bring them in the rose garden.

One of the more noticeably chatty members of the WH staff was Sylvia Mae Davis, Deputy White House Staff Secretary/ Deputy Assistant to the President, ironically she's one of the most hostile people towards the MAGA movement in the WH.

1. Controlling the Optics.

Shades of the last days of Reagan.

And you saw what happened when Reality TV Show,Trump's White House,went live.

2. Did I read the part wrong where it said Pelosi called the cops on them???

[Docreed2003]

3. It's been a RW talking point for a while that she "refuses to meet them"

I guess now they're suggesting she's so heartless that she called the cops on them while their MAGA president met them willingly after his advisers informed him they were wanting to meet him. Smells like RW bs to me

4. One America News Network?

That's who this guy works for.

Might want to reconsider this OP. Especially since Mr. Girdusky makes the titular president out to be rather the hero of the tale.

5. Cool story, bro (to Girdusky, not the OP)
