One of the biggest lessons in the Art of the Deal is to be willing to walk away.
If the libs don't want infrastructure, Trump can't force them to accept it.
The art of the deal is to listen respectfully, and to find common ground. Trump's style is belligerent and bellicose followed by Brinkmanship.
President Trump quickly determined there was no common ground with Chuck and Nancy because they weren't serious in getting to work. So the meeting was ended.
LIAR ^^^
Apparently, you didn't listen when the President came out of the meeting. All that Chuck and Nancy wanted to do was to investigate him. They didn't want to do the infrastructure and there was no way to force them into it.
That isn't what happened or even what Trump said happened. He admitted he didn't have anything to do with the meeting because he was PISSED. His EXACT words (and I made sure it was his exact words):
I came here to do a meeting on infrastructure with Democrats—not really thinking they wanted to do infrastructure or anything else except investigate. And I just saw that Nancy Pelosi just before our meeting made a statement that the President of the United States is engaged in a cover up. Well, it turns out I'm the most -- and I think most of you would agree with this --I am the most transparent President probably in the history of this country…..
… instead of walking happily into a meeting, I walk in to look at people who just said I was doing a cover up. I don't do cover-ups….
I walked into the room, and I told Senator Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, "I want to do infrastructure. I want to do it more than you want to do it; I'd be really good at that, that's what I do. But you know what—you can't do it under these circumstances. Get these phony investigations over with."
...So when they get everything done, I'm all set to--let's get infrastructure, let's get drug prices down….in the meantime we are doing tremendous work without them…
So he wasn't expecting to actually work on infrastructure anyway, and then Pelosi's statement came out and made him angry, so he walked into the room and told them "you can't do it under these circumstances. Get these phony investigations over with and when they get everything done I'm all set to -- let's get infrastructure, let's get drug prices down..."
This wasn't a meeting where the Democrats didn't have good ideas This was a meeting where the President walked in and said "I'M NOT PLAYING UNTIL YOU QUIT BEING MEAN TO ME."
