Trump house

Matthew Daly Associated Press Published 5:20 PM EDT May 2, 2019 Washington – The Democratic-controlled House approved a bill Thursday that would prevent President Donald Trump from fulfilling his pledge to withdraw the United States from the landmark Paris climate agreement and ensure the U.S. honors its commitments under the global accord. The bill falls far short of the ambitious Green New Deal pushed by many Democrats, but it is the first significant climate legislation approved by the House in nearly a decade.

The following is the most important exchange during Tuesday’s televised Oval Office meeting between President Trump, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). THE PRESIDENT: Chuck, did you want to say something? SENATE MINORITY LEADER SCHUMER: Yeah. Here’s what I want to say: We have a lot of disagreements here. The Washington Post today gave you a whole lot of Pinocchios because they say you constantly misstate how much the wall is — how much of the wall is built and how much is there. Trump then laughed at the notion that the far-left Washington Post, whose disgraced fact checkers are some of the most dishonest and partisan hacks not employed by CNN, are legitimate.But none of that is the point. The point is that the very first thing Schumer said during this meeting, the key message he wanted to send, is that Trump is weak on the border and lying about it. Think about that No seriously, think about that. … [Read more...] about Nolte: Trump Tricks Chuck and Nancy into Owning Border Crisis During Oval Office Meeting
