CNN's Erin Burnett Pans Trump: He Has to Lead, Not Just Say 'Bye-Bye!'

CNN’s Erin Burnett ripped President Donald Trump tonight over his meeting with Democratic leaders today on the shutdown that ended with POTUS storming out.

After the meeting, Chuck Schumer said he threw a tantrum and left.

Trump tweeted :
@realDonaldTrump
“Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time ... I said bye-bye!”

Burnett said, “The problem is that the person at the center of a negotiation when the outcome is whether his government reopens can’t just say ‘Bye-bye.’
Trump has to lead!”

She also said there is a “crisis” going on, but it’s not the one Trump is talking about––it’s about the federal workers worried about not being paid as the shutdown continues.

Act like the boss is angry the juniors are trying to 'give away the farm', storm out. Turn and listen at the door while Mccarthy, thune, scalise, pence and nielson all act like they will do Spkr and mr Schumer a deal so as to end this. It sounds like every sales job i ever had. This is corporate sales applied to govt. This is why you hire political scientists for positions, NOT corporate shills. Govt isnt a corporation.
