Nancy Pelosi: Trump "uses the charm offensive -- which is offensive, very offensive"

Pelosi discussed the first White House meeting that she and other lawmakers had with the President after he was inaugurated, when he insisted that millions of votes were fraudulent and Pelosi told him he was wrong.

Beyond that widely reported incident, Pelosi said Trump worked very hard in the meeting to charm lawmakers, especially Democrats, though she conceded Trump worked harder on Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer because he probably knows she is a "lost cause."

"He uses the charm offensive -- which is offensive, very offensive," said Pelosi. She also described the President's son-in-law Jared Kushner, a top White House aide, as starry-eyed to the point that he missed the mark with Democrats.

"We went to the meeting when Jared was there -- and he said, 'Is everyone so excited about the change?' And we're like 'What?' I said, 'No, we're so excited about the women's march,'" recalled Pelosi.
