After last month's infrastructure meeting with Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer emerged from the West Wing to tout an agreement on the big-dollar price tag and the initiative's scope, which would encompass not only roads, airports and water but also broadband, housing and clean energy.
With absolutely no plan to bankroll this big boondoggle, Trump on Tuesday night sent Pelosi and Schumer a letter telling them he wouldn't talk infrastructure until Congress passed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
Pelosi has said she believes Trump is trying to "Goad" Democrats toward impeachment.
Just before heading across town to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to meet Trump, Pelosi charged Trump with engaging in a "Cover-up." It's as if she was goading Trump to goad her caucus to impeach him.
Pelosi's provocative accusation gave Trump an excuse to wave a transparently false rationale for calling off the infrastructure talk.
To show his displeasure, Trump switched from calling the California Democrat his usual "Nancy" to "Speaker Pelosi" and demoted Schumer to "Sen. Schumer" - with no reference to the New Yorker's leadership role.
It's hard to believe Pelosi wants to cool down the temperature as she calmly and efficiently needles Trump.
