House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticized President Trump’s border wall as the “worst way to protect the border” and said there’s nothing she would trade for its funding, as Congress prepares for a face-off over Trump’s campaign promise.
“It happens to be like a manhood issue for the president, building a wall, and I’m not interested in that,” she said during a discussion at Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics, according to The Washington Post and other outlets. “We can’t allow him to say we’re not interested in protecting the border. … That isn’t the only way to protect the border. In fact, it’s probably the worst way to protect the border.”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) plan to make good on their promise to Trump in December: to battle it out with Democrats and possibly allow for a mini-shutdown over Trump’s wall.
Trump has said he only agreed to sign a government spending bill early in the fall that didn’t include wall funding because he didn’t want a shutdown to harm Republicans chances in the midterms.
She’s absolutely right in describing this as a Trump “manhood” issue. Clearly, his need to erect that wall reflects problems, uh, elsewhere.
House and Senate Republicans now want to give him $23 billion or so. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy him some little blue pills or magic mushrooms for his, uh, weirdly-shapen, uh, fungus?
OK, so if a border wall is the worst way, why is that, and what is she proposing instead?
Calling the wall a manhood issue for Trump seems great for Pelosi’s base, but it just gives Trump more ammunition for his own base. You can’t beat Trump at the insult game because he and his minions will magnify and reflect it right back at you.
Oh, if only Donald J. Trump had only a single manhood issue.
Manhood issue from a woman politician, I love it, it predicts Old Orange political geyser about to go off again.
I am massively uninterested in “you can’t speak the truth because Trump will just twist it anyway”.
He’ll twist anything. Might as well make it be the truth.
