Trump cancels meeting with Schumer and Jeffries

Donald Trump cancelled a planned meeting with Democratic congressional leaders, the president announced on social media Tuesday.

Trump said that “after reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands being made by the Minority Radical Left Democrats in return for their Votes to keep our thriving Country open, I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive.”

It comes one day after POLITICO reported that the president would meet with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as a government shutdown looms.

Trump is willing to meet with America’s adversaries but not his own country’s representatives. We are trying to save lives and he wants to play politics. He owns this.

Something to that effect.

They are incapable of standing up to any disagreement or confrontation, and often just run away and hide.

Schumer says Trump ‘is running away from the negotiating table’ after Trump cancels meeting

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is keeping the door open to talks with President Trump after Trump canceled a meeting with Democratic leaders that was scheduled for later in the week.

In a post on X directed to Trump, Schumer said Democrats will sit down and discuss health care “when you’re finished ranting.”

In a separate statement, Schumer said Trump “is running away from the negotiating table before he even gets there” and that he would “rather throw a tantrum than do his job.“

more radical than him and his cult. Fuck him and the shadow president Stephen Miller.

Radical Left Democrats, again targeting Democrats who are Americans. The felon cretin needs to stop spewing and we have to stop his reckless sick behaviour.
