It looks as if The Trump Show will take some interesting turns in the new season, which begins Jan. 3. The teaser we saw on Tuesday was a doozy. Minority Leader and soon-to-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer went up to the White House to meet with the president about the looming government shutdown and all hell broke loose before the meeting even started. When the fur starts flying at the photo-op, you know that things are going to get crazy.<\/p>\n
Trump did his normal thing: Lying, exaggerating, threatening, bragging, complaining. But instead of the usual GOP sycophants clapping like a bunch of trained seals, this time he got pushback. He\u2019s not used to that and it didn\u2019t go well for him.<\/p>\n
According to the Los Angeles Times<\/a>, Trump stomped off and threw a folder full of papers around the room after the meeting, which is understandable. He had no idea what had just happened to him and he was frustrated.<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to believe it was this easy but Pelosi got him rattled by confronting him and then Schumer goaded him into yelling \u201cI\u2019ll proudly shut down the government if I don\u2019t get what I want!\u201d which, if it happens, is going to be an albatross around his neck. The Republicans are reportedly none too pleased that the greatest negotiator the world has ever known was so easily backed into a corner, leaving them with little room to maneuver on the budget, especially since the latest polling<\/a> shows that a large majority of American don\u2019t want a shutdown over the wall. Even 30 percent of Republicans are against it.<\/p>\n One person who had not one word to say about all this was Vice President Mike Pence, who sat frozen in a chair like a Madame Tussaud\u2019s wax figure, not moving or changing expression the entire time. His behavior was so strange it went viral almost immediately:<\/p>\n This photo was really from the Trump-Pelosi-Schumer fight today. Can someone please check to see if Mike Pence is actually still alive or is this a \u201cWeekend at Bernies\u201d…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n
