All of official Washington has come to an agreement that swift, bold action is needed to counteract the dramatic economic impact of the coronavirus spread. But negotiations around such a package have been complicated by the fact that President Donald Trump cant stand the idea of negotiating one-on-one with his chief counterpart, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Indeed, he suspects that she would use the moment to try to humiliate him.
Two senior Trump administration officials described a president who, out of an intense bitterness toward the House Speaker, has shuddered at the prospect of being in the same room with her during the ongoing public-health crisis and economic reverberations.
Instead, Trump has deputized some of his more prominent lieutenants to handle the delicate negotiations. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, in particular, has emerged as one of the administrations top envoys to Capitol Hill, as Team Trump and lawmakers attempt to cobble together some form of economic stimulus in the wake of a now-declared global pandemic.
At this time, the president does not see it as productive to [personally] negotiate directly with Nancy Pelosi, said one of the senior administration officials. For now, its best for her to deal directly with Sec. Mnuchin and others in the administration. The official recalled how Trump bristled at Pelosi for, in the presidents estimation, immediately leaving recent private meetings the two had to leak its contents and try to, in the sources characterization, make the president look bad and score political points.

(12,577 posts)He dropped the "I'm a serious person" facade and put put on his usual Donald Trump who-gives-a-shit face and sighed "Okay" like a 5th grader who had just finished standing in front of the class reading his book report. The subtext was, "Thank god that's over with. When's my tee time?"

(4,030 posts)1 He cant handle a conversation with a strong willed woman.
2 He has no negotiating skills, and hence feels incompetent and intimated by meeting with Pelosi simply based on the facts of the situation.
3 Hes too dumb to do the math. The conversation would confuse him.
