Yesterday was Donald Trump's 1,000th day in the White House, and it certainly was not his best. The day began with the House of Representatives overwhelmingly voting to rebuke Trump's sudden withdrawal of US troops from Syria, a move that quickly brought about a Turkish invasion against the Kurds of northern Syria, former staunch US military allies. The House voted 354 to 60 to condemn Trump's ill-advised military move, a vote that included a majority of Republican House members siding with the majority Democrats. That slap down reportedly angered Trump to such a degree that it spilled over onto the rest of day.
Trump had a meeting scheduled at the White House with Congressional leadership, and it quickly turned into what some in the room labeled a presidential diatribe. At one point Trump referred to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was sitting directly across from him, as either a "third-grade" or a "third-rate" politician, and at another point the Speaker rose from her chair, pointed her finger at the sitting Trump, and fired back a response of her own saying that all of Trump's roads seem to lead "back to Putin." At about that time she and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer walked out of the meeting - as Trump taunted them with "See you at the polls!"
After the meeting ended Trump fired off this tweet - along with an official White House photo of Nancy Pelosi standing at the conference table and pointing her finger at him:
Pelosi, for her part, said Democrats walked out of the meeting because Trump had had a meltdown. She seemed to be proud of the photo that Trump posted and used it as the new logo on her Twitter account. She told reporters:
Government by meltdown and prayer - and it only took 1,000 days to get there!

"Nancy Pelosi needs help fast! There is either something wrong with her "upstairs," or she just doesn't like our great Country. She had a total meltdown in the White House today. It was very sad to watch. Pray for her, she is a very sick person."
Pelosi, for her part, said Democrats walked out of the meeting because Trump had had a meltdown. She seemed to be proud of the photo that Trump posted and used it as the new logo on her Twitter account. She told reporters:
"I pray for the president all the time and I tell him that. I pray for his safety and that of his family. Now we have to pray for his health because this was a very serious meltdown on the part of the president."
Government by meltdown and prayer - and it only took 1,000 days to get there!
