Transparency, Trump Style

Yesterday's Oval Office meeting between Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and President Trump was great.

Pelosi were totally blindsided. All they could do was sputter.

Rush Limbaugh saw it this way:

They still have not endeavored to find out who Trump is, who he really is, beyond the stereotypes they’ve created of him and the cliches, and they certainly have no idea who his voters are. They just hold us all in contempt. So Trump blindsided ’em. He totally, totally blindsided ’em. A Democrat that’s been paying attention, that has even a modicum of respect, should have realized a meeting in the White House with the media and cameras in the room oftentimes ends up being televised. 

That didn’t even cross their minds until it started happening, and then that’s too late to do anything about it. All Pelosi could do was mutter that it’s not… (muttering) “We — we — we need to get rid of the press. We shouldn’t be having these negotiations in the media.” Well, what? You just said, Nancy, that the House of Representatives now with you Democrats in charge it is gonna be transparent again! The Democrat control of things is never transparent. 

Democrats and liberals, by definition, hide who they are and what they’re doing from public scrutiny. They do not permit it to happen. They lie about what they believe in, what they want to happen, what their agenda’s gonna be, and who they are. So Trump just totally maneuvered them and took them by total surprise and laid the land for them. (paraphrased) “It’s gonna be border security or there’s gonna be a shutdown and I’m gonna be the one to do it. I’ll happily do it. I’ll claim the credit for it.” 

They didn’t know what to do because Trump framed all this in terms of border security. Now, border security is something the Democrats will say they support. But when it come time to actually do something that would promote it, you can’t find ’em. They don’t want there to be any changes in how people cross the border — by definition. They want amnesty for those that are already here illegally, and they don’t want any limits on people coming in other than the ones they impose for their own political reasons.

Yes, Pelosi wanted the press out of the room, but Trump just said, "This is called transparency!"

Transparency, Trump style!
