Even the people who don’t usually like President Trump’s tweets will like this one. I’m sure of it.
President Trump met with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer at the White House on Tuesday, and the three of them sparred over border security.
"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

I find it interesting that they (Democrats) are always bragging about how transparent they are, but when things get real, they cower and are all, “Let’s debate in private.”
“I don’t think we should have a debate in front of the press on this,” Pelosi added. “This is a most unfortunate thing. We came in here in good faith and we’re entering this kind of discussion in the public view.”
Trump’s response was awesome.
“It’s not bad, Nancy,” he said. “It’s called transparency.”
I love that Trump allows the American people to get a glimpse of the process. We don’t have to have a “reporter” filter the news for us. We see what’s going down directly, and that terrifies Schumer and Pelosi. They’re not used to it. They need the media filter. They count on MSM to stick to the Democratic talking points and cover their butts. But Trump? He doesn’t care. Let the American people see for themselves. Let us watch Pelosi and Schumer fight him on national security in public.
They don’t know how to handle Trump. They’re not used to a politician who says, “I am proud to shut down the government for border security.”
Trump’s still going, too. He just owned Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer without uttering their names or giving them new nicknames.
The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?

Let that simmer.
