The reality of Washington in 2019 is this: A meeting between President Donald Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi will very likely end with someone abruptly walking out of the room
with Pelosi, Schumer and other top Democrats over a proposed $2 trillion infrastructure package after release of the Mueller report.
Trump also tweeted a photo of the meeting with the caption, "Nervous Nancy's unhinged meltdown!" Pelosi apparently didn't mind the picture; she made it part of her Twitter profile. Pelosi responded that Russia has always wanted a "foothold in the Middle East," and blamed Trump for now giving one to Russian President Vladimir Putin. "All roads with you lead to Putin," Pelosi declared, a Democratic aide said.
The two top House Democrats then left, followed shortly afterward by Schumer, who had briefly stayed behind to press Defense Secretary Mark Esper about the fate of ISIS prisoners in Syria.
