.@realDonaldTrump now knows that his verbal abuse will no longer be tolerated. His empty chair photo opp showed he’s more interested in stunts than in addressing the needs of the American people. Poor Ryan and McConnell relegated to props. Sad!

Schumer also posted the following tweets about the President:
We don’t have any time to waste in addressing the issues that confront us, so we’re going to continue to negotiate with Republican leaders who may be interested in reaching a bipartisan agreement.
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) November 28, 2017
However, despite Pelosi and Schumer’s justifications, many Americans believed not showing up to the meeting was inappropriate. They expressed this viewpoint in tweets such as the ones which read as follows:
When will you ever do something for the American People ? and stop obstructing President @realDonaldTrump – Every Day. All you and Chuck S. do is try to stop anything The GOP tries to get done. Stop your BS and Do something for WE the people for a change. pic.twitter.com/qu1XJbF3fs

Ummm… didn't @POTUS negotiate w/you the last time you went into talks with him? You cant negotiate if you aren't at the table. https://t.co/Tnrux25U64

Like President Trump, McConnell and Ryan also slammed Pelosi and Schumer for their failure to attend the meeting with the following statement:
So far, there is no word as to whether any parties involved shall consider rescheduling the meeting which would have taken place on Tuesday.
Congressional leaders have until December 8, 2017 to come up with a plan to prevent a government shutdown.
