Probably that he was wild enough to use it in a way harmful to himself. yeah. you know, i think pretty much if you know the way that a first grade playground works, you can understand how the trump oval office works. and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer went in there and smiled at him and talked him up and flattered him, and he went along with it. and he just showed them. he showed paul ryan. he showed mitch mcconnell, and he showed them all the way to bringing these two democratic leaders back into the game, giving them leverage, and setting up an end of the year confla grags of legislation where the democrats will be key players. that is something i don t think jonathan or i could have imagine the a few weeks ago, and it is why he is laughing tonight and why democrats on capitol hill are laughing tonight. one of our rare laughs in seven months of a lot of non-laughing times. and of course donald trump has said hateful things about nancy pelosi. he has said even more hateful things about chuck schumer, and he will again.
