The thing about what Trump is doing is that it's trying to strong arm shit, which worked wonders in fucking over workers and small businesses (up to the point where only banks willing to lend him money had their names in Cyrillic). That doesn't work here, there is nothing he can threaten Schumer or Pelosi with here. Hell if I was in that meeting I'd just call him a whiny bitch and tell him to enjoy the shutdown.
