Trump publicly brawls with Pelosi and Schumer over wall, says he is proud to shut down Government for border security
A White House reporter says Trump walked into an adjoining room after the meeting, threw a folder of briefing papers across the room and expressed his frustration with Schumer
President Donald Trump engaged in a fight with two top Democrat representatives — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and US Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer — in front of cameras at an Oval Office meeting about government funding. The meeting was held between the trio as Congress seeks to finalize spending before some Federal Government funding expires on December 21.
Trump, in a public argument rarely seen in front of cameras, bickered with the Democratic leaders about the funding for his controversial border wall along the southern US border and Mexico. The border wall is one of the Republican's key promises made during his presidential campaign two years ago.
