[h=1]House Democrats Walk Out Of White House Syria Meeting, Accusing Trump Of 'Meltdown'[/h]
Congressional Democrats walked out of a bipartisan White House meeting with President Trump about his decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria, a meeting in which Trump called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "a third-rate politician" according to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Speaking to reporters on the White House driveway Wednesday after the meeting, Pelosi said the president had a "meltdown" inside, looked shaken, "and was not relating to reality."
Trump lobbed the same insult back Wednesday night, tweeting that it was Pelosi who had the "meltdown":
Schumer said Trump was not engaged in a dialogue, but "a nasty diatribe, not focused on the facts, particularly the fact of how to curtail ISIS that aims to hurt the United States in our homeland."

Most of us have already heard or read about this confrontation in the White House. Trump called Nancy Pelosi "a third grade politician" -- he meant 'third rate politician' so the press has corrected that for him
If you see the photo of the angry exchange, notice the men sitting at that table and their body posture. Many of them have their heads down in shame. Nancy Pelosi told him "all roads with you lead to Putin", that's when he exploded and called her a '3rd rate politican' and the 3 democrats walked out. It's obvious that there's going to be no government business happening going forward.
One last comment the angry Trump yelled to them, "we'll see you at the polls". This is extremely telling in those few words. It tells me that Trump sees all of this as nothing other than a tug of war, a political beauty contest. This confrontation was symbolic of the end of the way democracy works in the US
