Not at this rate. If Nancy Pelosi wants to pick a fight with Donald Trump, she’d better be prepared for him to throw some punches of his own:

And how about a little insult to go with that injury?

Dude.
Pelosi: I’m going to play petty games to get what I want.
Trump: Hold my beer. https://t.co/4UNcCgGimf— Natalie Johnson (@nataliejohnsonn) January 17, 2019

Update:
Well, this is interesting:
The details of Pelosi's planned travel to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan — particularly those destinations — had not been previously announced. Earlier today her aides asked news organizations not to report that the trip would take place, citing national security.
— Steven Portnoy (@stevenportnoy) January 17, 2019
Pelosi's trip to Afghanistan had been a closely held secret due to security concerns, of course. Very few people knew she was heading there. @SteveScalise mentioned Pelosi was headed to Brussels in his presser this morning, which angered Dems.
— John Bresnahan (@BresPolitico) January 17, 2019
Minority Whip Steve Scalise first revealed the trip in a session with reporters earlier this afternoon. @Steve_Dorsey reports Scalise staffers told him and other reporters they saw bags packed, ready for the trip, outside the Speaker's office.
