It sounds like
President Trump has had a rough day.House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that Trump had a "meltdown" during a meeting with
Democratic leaders about Syria. Pelosi added that Trump was "shaken" throughout the meeting because the House, including 129
Republicans, voted Wednesday to pass a resolution condemning the U.S. military withdrawal Trump authorized in northern
Syria, which allowed for a
Turkish incursion into the region, placing Washington's Kurdish allies at risk.Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who was also in the meeting, said Trump was particularly insulting toward Pelosi, even calling her a "third rate politician" to her face, ultimately causing the
Democrats to walk out of the room.
Schumer said Trump went on a "nasty diatribe," in which the president also reportedly said that the Democrats might be happy with the fact some members of
ISIS were communists. Or, well, something along those lines — everyone seemed a bit confused about what was actually being said during the meeting.
