Summary
Donald Trump threw a temper tantrum while trying to find a compromise with Democratic leaders on Wednesday afternoon. According to Pelosi, Schumer and multiple other sources, Donald Trump demanded a wall and when Pelosi said no, he slammed the table and walked out. Is this how he thinks business gets done? People are seriously hurting out there and his temper tantrum is preventing almost a million people from getting their paychecks. Disgraceful.
We talk to Joanna Piacenza from Morning Consult, Jennifer Haberkorn from the LA Times and Rep John Yarmuth (D-KY)
