Yeah hahahahaha

Is that suppose to surprise anyone? The list of things Trump doesn't understand could fill up a warehouse!

Right or wrong Trump is doing what he said he would do, that's rare for a politician.

How can the 'master of the art of the deal' not comprehend that he now has little to no leverage?

Trump doesn't understand.ennough said.

Democrats don't understand that the silent majority want our borders controlled. Nancy Pelosi better get her sh*t together and start working with Trump to secure the border. We don't want a sanctuary country.

Dont get tour hopes up crazy loons. We dont care about the government shut down. We will go as long as it takes but we need that wall. You dont care about LEO killed, children killed by illegals then open your homes and wallets to them.

Nancy doesnt understand HER leverage is gone. Leave the government shit down for the next two years. Dont give the Democrats a dime to spend of our money. I could care less.

Is she in for a shock. All politicians are self serving. Democrats are twice has bad as any. Being an ego maniac she is going to be in a straight jacket babbling to herself in six months.

In the words of Han Solo, “Don’t get cocky”. Never forget 2016.

Lol your party is the only one crying about it.

He never really had it. Will come up with something new

America is in trouble

galbrg He doesn't know the meaning of leverage...or 1 million other words.

Nancy why don't you and Chucky get on the program with the American people that want a border wall take a real pole and asked the American people what they want. the American people want a wall and you people just obstruct Donald Trump everywhere you can

Oh but he will soon.

Yes, it is. A slap of REALITY comes to Washington, tomorrow. THANK GOD FOR IT!

He won based on policy so she is fighting the people

MsSales2U As long as media continue to cover him and his every word and tweet 24/7, he’s the winner. When will you all understand.

Washington Post article is one sided bull schlit! You do or say anything about Trump to improve your bottom line. It's all about money You could care less about the future of our country.

Republican: “Trump’s brain is as big as the sun.” Trump: “So true, so true.” Democrat: “Trump’s brain is as small as the sun.” Trump: “Fake news.”

Bullshit articles like this. Trump needs to stand his ground. An ILLEGAL just killed a cop in California.

Fire the Trump maniac.. totally useless! Confounded! Dead 💀 head!

He’s like a grounded boy trying to make deals through his bedroom door, “But Mom!!!”

Poor guy does not understand anything

Just like he did not have the voted in the House? Well the Bill passed the HouseFloor . SenSchumer and his SenateDems threw a tantrum at the expence of the US Budget and Federal Employees. House passed, POTUS would sign and SenateGOP supported a Bill. Just Shumer stopped it.

Still on Holiday in Hawaii?

Should be an interesting year in Trump-land .

Between the two corrupt parties we have, the public is left between a rock and a hard place, we try to vote in the lesser of two evil, then most of the time we end up with Evil himself

Thanks NancyPelosi her actions will show TheDemocrats agenda to sabotage POTUS at the cost of WeThePeople will help get realDonaldTrump re-elected.

FOSSILIZ D FOOL NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE,,,,,

Bs

Rs had 2 years to get something done. His leverage is gone.

In Italy, Renzi doesn’t understand his leverage is gone.

BINGO! Great piece Jennifer JRubinBlogger. TeamPelosi mluckovichajc

Wait and see he wont budge on the wall this will be a long shutdown. Period. Nothing is going to get done in Congess now but socialist bills that will never pass. and false Impeachments. Good thing Trump can still ram his Judges through the senate

Pelosi’s seen a few things. She’ll negotiate with Trump because that’s the Executive she was dealt. I’m sure JFK would’ve preferred to negotiate with Gorbachev than Krushchev. She won’t fluster, lose focus, or forget the end game. She’ll get to work.

Try and open the gov without Trump's signature. Trump could replace up to 4 Supreme Court Justices, Just Think, 4. BRAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAHAHAHA!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Nancy doesn’t realize she hasn’t gotten hers back .

Jeff Bezos, owner of his newsletter, the WP, doesn’t understand the leverage conservatives have. We know Bezos is actively trying to stop Trump and wants socialism in America. We have awoken.

If you think the man baby Trump is throwing tantrums now, just wait until the Dems take over the house. It's like this: Trump had a high end sports car, but he was unable to drive a stick, and unwilling to learn so instead he just grinded the gears for 2 years . Incompetent

Because he doesn’t begin to understand how our gov’t is structured. He seems to think he’s a king.

Trump's leverage is the American people, and there's millions. That's his strength. His resolve and strong determination to make America great again will prevail. We needed a President like MR. TRUMP a long time ago. No more border abuse, no more taking advantage of trade issues.

Media does not understand that their once respected journalism is gone and replaced by mostly biased libtard coverage

Yes he does. That's why they are meeting in private. He will take 5 bucks and a wooden nickel for the wall

He doesn’t understand. He’s small.

You don't understand what info he has on you ALL!!! WINNING Abolish your child trafficking!!!!

How many meltdowns with the communist WaPo writers have today?

Not so sure. Democrats generally are more supportive of government workers than Republicans, and Trump obviously doesn't care about negative publicity and even seems to court it.

Trump is a bullshitter. He knows he has no leverage but he will try to bully his way through. That’s why Pelosi needs to stand her ground and not buckle to the bullshit. America voted for a change in Nov. Dems must deliver. Americans are tired of Trump wasting our time and money.

This why we we call it opinion, it is not fact just a persons thoughts.

If his leverage is gone Now is the time to Do Something. Or he will get it back and win the 2020 election. For some reason the people in the government that supposedly represent us a afraid to stand up to Him 🤨

Pelosi is a mom. Every mom knows how to handle kids throwing tantrum: 'don't give in'

Trump never had leverage. He hovered around 39% approval. He had a scared GOP GOP majority.

Oh he still holds it Nancy your about to find out you don’t run Washington.

No, he doesn't understand at all. Neither do his supporters. Two years later & they still can't understand why people don't like him.

realDonaldTrump without leverage for his bully pulpit is just another old, balding impotent man whose insecurities he thinks nobody sees but every word and action highlights them for ALL to see. He's truly a pathetic thing. Irrelevant to humankind.

Trump is going to be so out of his league trying to negotiate with Ms Pelosi.

This!

Good,then explain it to him that he's a lame turkey ... (yea I meant turkey)

FTFY: Trump doesn't Understand

He literally can not comprehend, what level is his comprehension?

Why Trump has spared Pelosi from his personal vitriol — so farThe president genuinely respects the incoming speaker, and needs her if he's going to get anything done in the next two years. But the government shutdown is about to test his restraint. 'Trump Calls Meeting With Lawmakers, Suggests He's Open to a Deal' last time that headline splashed the story revealed only Republican lawmakers were invited to meet and listen to Trump's openness to deal. Because Trump is afraid of President Pelosi. He is afraid of her.
