It also doesn't take much for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to set off President Trump.
Today, her magic words were cover-up.
This was enough for Trump to walk out of a White House meeting with Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to discuss infrastructure and call an impromptu press conference in the Rose Garden. Trump insisted he doesn't do cover-ups and said there would be no deals on infrastructure until Congress halted their "phony investigations".
Well, that's not how it works.
Yet here's the thing. Pelosi, Schumer and the rest of the Democratic Congressional leadership have thus far resisted calls to begin impeachment hearings against Trump despite pressure being brought to bear by Democratic colleagues. The pressure has been augmented since Michigan Republican Justin Amash publicly called for Trump's impeachment, but Pelosi and company have resisted.
If Trump is behaving like a naked emperor now then imagine what he would do if Pelosi were to actually use the word impeachment.
