Members of Congress held a meeting with President Donald Trump Wednesday to discuss the situation in Syria, but Sen. Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn’t stay for the whole thing, explaining that Trump was having a “meltdown” and deciding to walk out when he called Pelosi a “third-rate politician.”
JUST NOW: @SpeakerPelosi, @LeaderHoyer and @SenSchumer say @realDonaldTrump “had a meltdown” and “was not relating to reality” in their meeting this afternoon.

Just magical stuff here: Schumer clarifies that Trump didn't call Pelosi a communist, he said parts of ISIS are communist so maybe she'd be happy with ISIS taking over https://t.co/Yo9gyoV25h

We really would like a transcript of this meeting; not that we don’t believe the gist of what Pelosi and Schumer were saying — we’d just like to know the exact words that were said. Apparently impeachment didn’t come up, but we’ll bet it was on Trump’s mind.

He must've called Schumer "second rate." That's the only way Pelosi could possibly think being called "third rate" was an insult.

Fact Check: It's true. @SpeakerPelosi is in fact a third rate politician.

— Bill (@leswhl) October 16, 2019
wow… I would have said "4th rate"… he thinks more highly of her than I do

Even when Trump has an apparent "meltdown" he still has a way of making those two look absolutely silly ?

Lol, he told them to take a flying leap

Both of those tweets could be true.
And they wonder why he hates Pelosi she has been trying to remove him since day one.
— Democrats Corruption (@Paula52958403) October 16, 2019
F her. She's called him everything under the sun and is running this impeachment scam and has the nerve to be insulted?

Hey, she wants a nice sweet easygoing meeting sipping mint juleps.
While she is trying to impeach him?
huh?
Trump does need to do something for the Kurds though
