Democratic congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer gave President Donald Trump an earful in the Oval Office — and social media users loved it.
The incoming House Speaker and the Senate Minority leader met Tuesday with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, and the pair of Democratic lawmakers blasted the president for threatening a government shutdown over his proposed border wall.
“If I needed the votes for the wall in the House, I would have them in one session — it would be done,” Trump said.
“So go do it,” Pelosi responded.
By the end of the meeting, Schumer had baited the president into bragging: “I am proud to shut down the government for border security.”
My God, when *Chuck Schumer* is raining down dunks on you, that's just embarrassing.

If you read Mike Pence's lips here he's repeating the Serenity Prayer like a mantra https://t.co/Wj2W8S1tZX

Trump has been able to hide how deeply stupid and bad at politics he is, because for 2 years he hasn't had to deal with anyone but craven, suck-uppy Republicans who laugh at his weird non-jokes and placate him and bend over backwards to make him feel smart and capable. But now... https://t.co/K8xBDw2DYT

Trump has no idea what he’s in for the next two years and how different things are about to be for him. https://t.co/agZgkIWUBI

THE PRESIDENT has just robbed Republicans of the ability to say Democrats are shutting down government.

This is going to be quite the month
It’s gonna be really great when Republicans insist Trump didn’t say what he said

Two adults dealing with a petulant, unbriefed, unprepared tantrum. White House corroding so much of the gravity and majesty of the Oval Office. https://t.co/7sgnj94D52

Padding the walls of the Oval is going to run into money

Schumer says The Post gave Trump a bunch of pinocchios on claims that the wall is being built. Trump sits on it for a second, realizes he has a play.

"The Washington Post," he says, scoffing. He turns to Pence for support. Pence's expression doesn't change.
Smock ‘em, Chuck https://t.co/ZA0Spu2SgQ

Like a boss, @NancyPelosi refused to let Trump mansplain his nonsense to her. It was glorious.

Nancy Pelosi just did something that not a single Republican has had the guts to do in 2 years.
