On Wednesday, President Trump spoke from the White House, describing his earlier meeting with Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who had accused him of engaging in a “cover up” just hours before.
Clearly frustrated by the rhetoric coming from Democrats, including Pelosi’s remarks and continued subpoenas and demands for further investigations, Trump explained that he didn’t stay long.
“Instead of walking in, happily into a meeting, I walk in to look at people that have just said that I was doing a cover-up,” said Trump.
“You can’t do it under these circumstances,” the president said, explaining that he told Democrats to “Get these phony investigations over with” before attempting further discussions.

Later in the day, President Trump took to social media to further denounce Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, as well as Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, and others.
“You can’t investigate and legislate simultaneously,” explained Trump, who said Democrats can continue focusing on the Mueller report, “or get back to work.”
So sad that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer will never be able to see or understand the great promise of our Country. They can continue the Witch Hunt which has already cost $40M and been a tremendous waste of time and energy for everyone in America, or get back to work….

….But they really want a do-over! You can’t investigate and legislate simultaneously – it just doesn’t work that way. You can’t go down two tracks at the same time. Let Chuck, Nancy, Jerry, Adam and all of the rest finish playing their games….

Trump supporters agreed, with many expressing their beliefs that Democrats are doing nothing to help themselves ahead of the 2020 election.
The patience of Trump has been unreal, this circus has to stop and I totally support Trumps stance.

It puts the ball in their court. Dems won’t stop the witch hunts, so they won’t achieve anything for two years. That’s what they choose.

Bullshit. This is on the Dems! They will pay at the ballot box while Americans pay now because of their resist resist stance. Their craziness needs to stop.

We did not elect him to be a nice guy. I am glad and proud that he walked out on “ The Bobby Twins”” We have waited a long time for a Republican with the guts to stand up to the Dems.
