Pelosi Describes Her Meeting With Trump In Weirdest, Most Gag-Worthy Way Imaginable

As you’ve probably heard, Trump met with Schumer and Pelosi today, and it turned into quite the show:

President Trump says a criminal justice reform bill seems poised to pass with bipartisan support: “It looks like it will be passing, hopefully — famous last words” https://t.co/VJ7Sq0ditF pic.twitter.com/uTQgsKVSUs

“One way or another it’s going to get built”: After a tense meeting with Democratic leaders about border security, President Trump says “a lot of wall has been built” on the U.S.-Mexico border but adds, “We don’t talk about that” https://t.co/uiiZgARky5 pic.twitter.com/D29x1qwFAf

Then Trump straight up told Schumer he WILL shut down the government if we don’t get what we want. He’d be PROUD to.

That was pretty epic.

But Pelosi didn’t use the word “epic” to describe the showdown. Instead, she had this to say:

“The press is all there! Chuck is really shouting out. I was trying to be the mom. I can’t explain it to you. It was so wild. It goes to show you: ‘you get into a tickle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you,” Pelosi to her members after, per aide in room.

Pelosi to colleagues: “It was so wild. It goes to show you: you get into a tickle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you.”

I’m sorry, what?

Is this a thing people say?

Where the hell did she pull this from?

Wtf? A tickle fight with tinkle and skunks wut?

I’m still a little confused about Nancy Pelosi talking about skunk tinkle.

Please help.

That must be a old, old lady saying.

Is it?

This was a hip reference when Nancy first heard it in 1858.

Oh. That explains it. Everyone else who knows what she’s talking about is dead.

BAHAHA!

Oddly enough, this is not @NancyPelosi‘s first reference to a “tickle contest with a skunk.”https://t.co/c0dCFoOUfw pic.twitter.com/mmcPo041kB
