Trump's Nancy Pelosi 'meltdown' tweet was the perfect self-own. Here's why.
Pathetic man babies afraid of a mean tweet!
Trump will never get used to a woman who is obviously, in all respects, more of a competent, balanced and decent human being than he is capable of ever being.
Trump obviously has another dishonest sycophant in Stephanie Grisham.
The White House's photo clearly shows that the last man standing in that room is, in fact, Nancy Pelosi.

Thanks to Donald Trump, American women have a fresh, iconic photo of Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the White House on Wednesday. There she is, the only woman at a table of two dozen men, standing up to object to what lawmakers confirm was Trump’s verbal abuse .. https://www.nbcnews.com/video/schumer-says-trump-called-pelosi-a-third-rate-politician-in-meeting-71408197923 . Meanwhile, the white male power elite of the United States look down uneasily at their collective hands.
- In situations like this, as the only woman in a room full of men, Pelosi pushes all Trump’s buttons at once. -
This White House meeting with congressional leaders was supposed to be about the unfolding conflict between Turkey and the Kurds. Before they even got down to business, however, the conversation, perhaps predictably, unraveled. In situations like this, as the only woman in a room full of men — a woman who is not there as eye candy to help close the deal, but who is present to actually close the deal herself — Pelosi pushes all Trump’s buttons at once.
"He was insulting, particularly to the speaker,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters. “This was not a dialogue, it was sort of a diatribe. A nasty diatribe, not focused on the facts."
Pelosi later said Trump referred to her as a "third-grade politician.” Schumer and other Democrats heard “third-rate.” White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham instead implied that Trump was the soul of calm. Pelosi "had no intention of listening," Grisham said in a statement, and Trump had been "measured" and "decisive."
Throughout his public interactions with Pelosi, Trump has deployed a combination of patronizing and condescending behavior — his go-to strategy for dealing with female political opponents. He calls her “Nancy” — she is not even worthy of title, much less a last name — while she calls him “Mr. President.”
Pelosi has emerged as a key a problem for Trump precisely because he has never had to deal with women who don’t depend on him. The women in his life — a few Trump Organization executives, his wives, his daughter and daughters-in-law — have all been dependent on him for their power.
Pelosi, however, is powerfully independent. And as she keeps having to remind him, she is the leader of a co-equal branch of government.
But his efforts to bring her to heel have backfired. The White House insisted Trump himself selected the photo and wrote the correctly spelled albeit characteristically juvenile caption. But this tactic — tweeting a photo that makes Pelosi look like a female Abraham Lincoln — did not come off the way Trump and his team seemed to think it would. What woman — or man — doesn’t look at that photo and recognize its courage?
