WASHINGTON – The meeting between Democratic leaders in Congress and President Donald Trump to end a compromise on the release of federal funds, the shutdown imposed by the White House on government activities until the project is approved, is finished in a few minutes of Muro on the border with Mexico. “A total waste of time” is the peremptory tweet with which the American president dismisses the brief confrontation with the speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and the head of the Senate minority group, Chuck Schumer. “I asked what would happen within a month, if I had unlocked things quickly they would have approved a wall or a steel barrier? Nancy said NO. I said ‘bye bye’, there is nothing left more to work on. ”
The two democratic leaders confirm the president’s abnormal institutional behavior. “He took and left – Schumer told reporters – He asked President Pelosi: ‘Will you accept my Wall?’. She said no, and he got up, he said: we have nothing to discuss , and he left. Again, we witnessed a nervous breakdown because he didn’t have what he wanted. ”
