President Trump has finally reached his limit with the unprecedented harassment he has faced in his two years in office.
Think of it – his campaign was spied on, his campaign was FISA’d which is the most intrusive thing you could imagine and is way worse than sending some sexpot to entrap Papadaplous.
After winning, he faced leak after leak from the sore losers (both GOP and Dem) that cast a shadow over his first two years.
Then he was cleared by Mueller and Bill Barr only to see the Democrats do it all over again and then some.
Trump has been patient but he just told Pelosi to go pound sand and drew a big red line and dared her to cross it.
From The Hill: President Trump cut off infrastructure talks with congressional Democratic leaders and lit into them during an appearance at the White House Rose Garden after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said he was “engaged in a cover up.”
“I don’t do cover ups,” Trump said in his remarks, shortly after leaving the meeting with Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Trump spoke at a lectern with a placard attached to it reading “ No Collusion No Obstruction” with statistics attacking special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
He also said he had been annoyed to learn that the scheduled meeting on infrastructure would take place after a House Democratic caucus meeting expected to focus on his possible impeachment.
He said he told the top Democrats to “get these phony investigations over with” before talks could resume.
“I’ve said from the beginning you can’t go down two tracks,” he said.
The president blasted the probe as a “total hoax” that “hurt us in so many ways.”
From Axios: President Trump told reporters at an impromptu press conference on Wednesday that he will not negotiate with Democrats in Congress on an infrastructure package or other bipartisan policy proposals until they call off their investigations.
“Instead of walking in happily into a meeting, I walk into, look at people that have just said that I was doing a cover-up. I don’t do cover-ups. … I walked into the room and I told Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi that I want to do infrastructure…but I can’t do it under these circumstances.”
The backdrop: Trump was scheduled to meet with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to discuss infrastructure at the White House, but the meeting only lasted 5 minutes. Earlier today, following a Democratic caucus meeting to discuss impeachment, Pelosi told reporters that Trump was “engaged in a cover-up” by stonewalling congressional oversight.
The other side: “He just took a pass,” Pelosi said, reacting to Trump’s impromptu press conference. “And it just makes me wonder why he did that. In any event, I pray for the president of the United States and I pray for the United States.”
