President Donald Trump lashed out at Democratic leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA) on Thursday morning, complaining they mischaracterized his bolting out of a negotiating session on the government shutdown.


Taking to Twitter, Trump complained: " Cryin Chuck told his favorite lie when he used his standard sound bite that I “slammed the table & walked out of the room. He had a temper tantrum.” Because I knew he would say that, and after Nancy said no to proper Border Security, I politely said bye-bye and left, no slamming!"
