The "I" word is now the new battleground between Trump and Democrats

Donald Trump walked out of a long-planned meeting with Democrat leaders today because of the "I" word. Impeachment. He thought all that stuff had gone out of the window once Robert Mueller, special counsel, had concluded there was no collusion between the president's campaign team and the Russians. But no. Despite Nancy Pelosi's initial reluctance to consider impeachment proceedings against Trump, she has begun to be won round by an ever-increasing number of Democrats who want the ultimate punishment for the president. Pelosi actually accused Trump of a cover-up and that got him going. He walked in late for the meeting about funding for his infrastructure programme but instead of sitting down for a constructive talk, he blasted at Pelosi for accusing him of a cover-up and swore that while the "I" word was being uttered by the Democrats he wouldn't even discuss infrastructure or anything else, and promptly walked out. Oh my goodness, government is going to come to a halt because Trump is besde himself with anger over Pelosi and her tribe. These two individuals, Trump and Pelosi, are at such loggerheads, nothing is going to get done. Pelosi was cutting in her press conference after the breakdown of the non-talks. She said she would pray for the president of the United States. She was like Lady Macbeth. Trump held his own Rose Garden press conference and just ranted against her and the Democrats. He claimed he didn't do cover-ups and swore he would not cooperate over anything unless they stopped using the "I" word and stopped investigating him. This is a disaster for everyone. Trump's action might please his supporters around the country but it means for the next 18 months the administration is going to be crippled, and that means an increasingly angry president. Watch out America and watch out the rest of the world.
