According to press reports, the meeting today between Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Donald Trump is “LIT” with the soon-to-be Speaker of the House telling the president that “you will not win” on funding of the border wall:
STAND BY: the Oval spray with Chuck and Nancy is LIT via @justinsink notes. They are arguing in front of the cameras about the Wall, taking petty jabs, Trump threatens shut down… “This has spiraled downward” Pelosi says in the middle of it.
