Trump Should Tread Lightly Around Pelosi & Schumer

There is plenty to criticize where it concerns incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.


But Pelosi and Schumer certainly got the better of President Trump in their sharp exchange over building a wall along the Mexican border. Trump couldn't make up his mind as to whether the wall had been built or not and made erroneous claims about terrorists crossing the Mexican border. Pelosi and Schumer expressed a willingness to work with Trump while Trump said he was going to shut down the government if he didn't get his way. Pelosi cleverly called a Trump Shutdown and a Twitter hashtag was born. Oh, and Mike Pence was in the room.

Trump would be wise to cut it with the Chuck and Nancy nonsense. He also needs to abandon this government shutdown rubbish. Neither of them are going to put up it and a shutdown will hang on Trump like an albatross. Whether he likes it or not Trump is going to need to work with both of them, especially Pelosi if he wants to get any of his border security measures implemented. Trump is going to need to tread lightly.


Of course Trump is an elephant in a china shop. I'm sure there will a tweet storm about Chuck and Nancy. It might satisfy his ego and his supporters. But it won't get that wall built. Especially as his presidency is crumbling down around him.
