Source: Politico
President Donald Trump said a planned meeting with Rep. Elijah Cummings has been called off because of partisan politics but the prominent Congressional Black Caucus member and top Democrat on the House oversight panel denied it.

This a-hole just says what ever comes to his tiny orange 'brain' without realizing what he's doing. He is to stupid to throw lies like that out to the public.
