Trump swore so frequently during todays immigration meeting that he ended up apologizing to Pelosi. He griped about impeachment. And he called the shutdown a strike, drawing puzzlement in the room.
WaPo:
In their meeting, Schumer repeatedly urged Trump to open up the government, telling him it is difficult to negotiate when he is holding government hostage, according to another official familiar with the exchange.
Trump responded: Im not going to say its for leverage, but Im not going to get a deal unless I do this, the official said. The president often used profanity during the meeting, apologizing to Pelosi at one point for cursing so much, according to the official.
