Pelosi privately disses Trump's manhood after White House meeting

Source: Politico

Nancy Pelosi was on fire with her fellow Democrats.

Minutes after a very public showdown with Donald Trump over his border wall with Mexico, the California Democrat returned to the Capitol and railed against the president in a private meeting with House Democrats.

Trump “must have said the word ‘wall’ 30 times,” the House minority leader said, according to multiple sources in the room.

“I was trying to be the mom,” she added, but “it goes to show you: you get into a tinkle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you.”

I predict an angry tweet in her future.

"It’s like a manhood thing with him — as if manhood can be associated with him," she deadpanned. "This wall thing."

Well, the bar has been lowered to the ground with Trump. No one on the right has any right to claim rudeness or unprofessional behavior. At least she didn't call him a name...like Tinkerbell. Which,now that I think of, sounds pretty good.

Trump told Pelosi and Schumer that the new trade agreement he recently struck with Canada and Mexico was going to pay for the wall, Pelosi told lawmakers.

On the campaign trail, the president had vowed that Mexico would pay for any southern barrier — not the United States.
Pelosi and Schumer reminded him several times during the rare public meeting Tuesday that he failed to keep this vow.

I agree. That stupid promise should be rubbed in his face every time he brings up the wall.

I hope she doesn't apologize. But the aide probably shouldn't have leaked private comments.

Trump's vindictiveness knows few bounds so it is unfortunate that she indulged in the second part of that quip. Flush with a successful day a bit perhaps.

But she did a wonderful job, so it's understandable. The picture of her face as she left the White House was lovely. She's in her element.

that someone who sh*ts in a gold toilet has no place called people in Hollywood "elite," especially since Clooney and most other actors actually worked a variety of jobs before they became celebrities, unlike Trump...who has never had a real job and was handed everything. It was a good tweet.

The thing we call The Strongman in political life is not a Man of Strength.

Pelosi seized the moment, just as the grandmothers of Argentina and the female factory workers of Poland seized their opportunity to shame the Strongman and remind us all of our inherent strength and the power of the People's House in our form of government

From Paul Ryan to Nancy Pelosi. From a would-be tyrant's doormat to a Democratic leader of government of, by and for the People. What a change, both real and symbolic.
