    Pelosi says Trump had 'meltdown' over House vote on Syria

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Democratic leaders’ cut short a White House meeting after Republican President Donald Trump had a “meltdown” over a House of Representatives vote condemning his Syria withdrawal.

    Trump called Pelosi a “third-rate politician” and the meeting deteriorated into a diatribe, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters.

    “What we witnessed on the part of the president was a meltdown. Sad to say,” Pelosi told reporters as she and the other Democrats emerged from the White House.


    The Democratic leader said Trump had a temper tantrum because so many Republicans joined Democrats to vote for a resolution condemning the president’s decision to withdraw U.S. forces from northeastern Syria, clearing the way for Turkey’s offensive against U.S.-allied Syrian Kurds.

    The vote was 354 to 60, with dozens of Trump’s fellow Republicans joining the majority Democrats. The split underscored deep unhappiness in Congress over Trump’s action, which many lawmakers view as abandoning Kurdish fighters who had been fighting alongside Americans to defeat Islamic State militants.

    “I think that vote - the size of the vote, more than 2-1 of the Republicans voted to oppose what the president did - probably got to the president. Because he was shaken up by it,” Pelosi said after emerging from the White House.

    “And that’s why we couldn’t continue in the meeting because he was just not relating to the reality of it.”

    Republicans said Pelosi “stormed out.” Representative Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he was disappointed to see Democratic leadership walk out of the meeting.

    House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said how Pelosi addressed Trump was inappropriate and they had a productive meeting after she left.

    There was no immediate response from the White House.Thursday and the Democrats said they were concerned Trump did not have a strategy going forward in the region.

    “I asked the president what his plan was to contain ISIS. He didn’t really have one,” Schumer said.

    Trump will reply with some six year old retort, "No she had a meltdown" bla bla.

    His reality TV stunt with the killer of the UK parent's son in the next room going like a lead balloon and another of his Goolie's buddies arrested.

    That he has the nuclear football comes to mind these days again.

    Trump tweets photo of Pelosi at White House meeting, accuses her of 'meltdown'

    President Trump on Wednesday tweeted out photos from his contentious meeting with Democrats and Republicans on Syria, accusing Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of having an "unhinged meltdown."

    Trump shared two photos from the meeting, which deteriorated after Democrats said the president derided Pelosi as a "third-rate politician."

    "Nervous Nancy's unhinged meltdown!" Trump captioned one photo, which showed Pelosi standing up at the Cabinet Room table and pointing at the president, who appeared to be exchanging words with the Speaker.

    "Do you think they like me?" Trump tweeted along with another photo showing Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) with tense facial expressions.
