Washington - The democratic world is burning, and we have a president obsessed with a purely symbolic, trivial, and politically manipulative fight over a wall — a giant piece of concrete that he laughably promised would be paid for by Mexico.
You can surely be entertained by President Trump's encounter Tuesday with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. At issue was money for Trump's border monstrosity. You could say Pelosi and Schumer won since they trapped Trump into saying that he'd be "proud" to shutter the government to get what he wanted.
And you can be impressed by Pelosi’s cool slap-down of Trump’s mansplaining and her challenge to Trump to try to get his wall through the House during the final days of Republican control.
