😎Republican leaders in the room 'shell-shocked' following Trump deal with Democrats😎



(CNN)President Donald Trump surprised the leaders of his own party in Congress on Wednesday when he backed a deal pushed by Democrats to attach hurricane relief money to a shorter-term bump in the debt ceiling as well as keeping the government open, cutting off his own Treasury secretary to strike a deal.

The decision was one of the most fascinating and mysterious moves he's made with Congress during eight months in office.

The remarkable turn of events left Republican congressional leaders, in control of both chambers of the legislative branch, "shell-shocked" and "visibly annoyed," and showcased how a President who also authored "The Art of the Deal" actually cuts one.

Trump's stunning agreement to endorse a plan proposed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi came during a Wednesday morning meeting with leaders from both parties in the Oval Office, the first such meeting of Trump's presidency.

A deal, that is. He cut a deal. A deal that alienated his allies and gave his enemies what they wanted.

the way McCain reversed his way on ACA. However, the truth is, Trump owes Mitch and Ryan NOTHING.

Just because we hear that the Don made some deal with Dems means squat in the new Trumpworld we are in. Count on nothing you would have assumed before....

So in addition to the pee tape, we now have on record that Trump actually cut one.

My 3rd grade humor just escaped its bonds.

he will do something everyday to outrage and confound and to keep his face on the TV. Today it was screwing over his own people; yesterday it was screwing over the dreamers. Tomorrow, who knows? It's all a reality show to him, and if his face is on TV he's happy.

Trump supporting Democrats is about the only thing that could get him impeached by Congress.
