CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 13, 2018
THAT WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY DUST-UP BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP, NANCY PELOSI AND CHUCK SCHUMER ON TUESDAY. THE OVAL OFFICE MEETING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT A COMPROMISE ON COMPLETING THE WALL ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER, BUT TRUMP CALLED IN THE MEDIA AND A SHOUTING MATCH BEGAN. IT GOT UGLY FAST.
SCHUMER ESPECIALLY WAS CONDESCENDING IN THE WAY HE LOOKED AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENT AND DISPLAYED A SMIRK THAT SAID, “I DON’T RESPECT YOU.” PELOSI, TOO, KEPT INTERRUPTING THE PRESIDENT, SAYING THE WALL ISN’T NECESSARY AND SHE WOULD ONLY AGREE TO OTHER WAYS TO STRENGTHEN THE BORDER. DOES ANYONE THINK SHE IS SERIOUS? DEMOCRATS WANT THOSE VOTES THEY SEE COMING FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. THEY WANT TO HOOK THEM ON BENEFITS AND EVENTUALLY GET THEIR VOTES.
HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH DIVIDED GOVERNMENT. CLEARLY THE INCOMING DEMOCRAT MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE IS NOT LIKELY TO GIVE THE PRESIDENT ANYTHING HE WANTS. IT’S ALL POLITICS, BUT IT’S WHAT THE VOTERS GAVE US AND WE ARE STUCK WITH IT FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS.
I’M CAL THOMAS.
