CNBC: Democrats say they left White House meeting on Syria after Trump ‘meltdown’
* Democratic congressional leaders say they walked out of a meeting with President Donald Trump after what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called a “meltdown” by the president.
* Earlier, the House passed a resolution opposing Trump’s move to pull U.S. forces from northern Syria.
* The bipartisan vote comes amid mounting backlash to the president’s action, which critics say left Kurdish troops allied with the U.S. vulnerable to a Turkish offensive.
Democratic congressional leaders said they walked out of a White House meeting Wednesday on Syria after what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called a “meltdown.”
After top Democrats left the bipartisan meeting with Trump, Pelosi told reporters that the president appeared “shaken up” by a House vote condemning his decision to remove U.S. forces from northern Syria. The House approved the resolution in an overwhelming 354-60 vote, as even a majority of Trump’s Republican Party supported it.
“That’s why we couldn’t continue in the meeting because he was just not relating to the reality of it,” Pelosi said outside the White House, in only the latest instance of a gathering between the president and Democrats blowing up.

WNU Editor: House Speaker Pelosi has said that President Trump is illegitimate, and is doing everything in her power to have him impeached. I actually expected an outcome far worse than this one.

When I think of Nancy Pelosi, I think of someone born into the American aristocracy.
She is spoiled rotten.
She is no good for America.
She is not well educated or wise at all.

CHUDS DISLIKE PEOPLE WITH MONEY?
Surely you know the answer Mr. Chuds.
I believe that the majority of American's would support the public execution of leading Democratic politicians for treason--after all due process and legalities are observed, not by any vigilante group. Hopefully we can all see this in Trump's 2nd term.
You sound as if you haven't read the Constitution's definition of what constitutes treason.
