On Tuesday, President Trump slammed Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer fortheir refusal to attend a planned meeting, as reported by Fox News.
What Happened?
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were scheduled to attend a government meeting with President Trump, Paul Ryan, and Mitch McConnell. The aforementioned meeting would have centered around a new and improved budget, immigration reform, and more. However, shortly after 9:00 AM, President Trump tweeted out the following message:
Meeting with “Chuck and Nancy” today about keeping government open and working. Problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into our Country unchecked, are weak on Crime and want to substantially RAISE Taxes. I don’t see a deal!

This tweet offended “Chuck and Nancy” so much that they opted out of attending the meeting. This prompted President Trump to slam the two Democratic leaders as “all talk, no action.”
The President also made the following remarks to reporters earlier:
“Now, it’s even worse. Now it’s not even talk. So they’re not showing up for the meeting.”
