Americans just got a preview of what the next two years will look like in Washington, DC, during an explosive and contentious Oval Office meeting between Donald Trump and the Democratic leadership from both chambers of Congress, Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. A stoic Vice President Mike Pence was also in attendance, but he just sat quietly and didn’t say a word.
In what can only be described as a made for reality TV moment, Trump, Schumer, and Pelosi traded political barbs over a number of issues. In a discussion focused on the border wall and Trump’s threat to shut down the government if he does not get funding, things got tense.
There are numerous moments to memorialize and highlight in this remarkable exchange, but it was when Schumer dunked Trump that has Twitter in laughter.
The video speaks for itself, but the tone of this clip is set when Schumer opens by calling out Trump’s alleged propensity for lying when he told Trump that The Washington Post gave you a lot of Pinocchios because you constantly misstate how much of the wall is built, but that’s not the point.”
After more back and forth, Schumer hit again, when after Trump touted some political wins, he said: “When the president brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana, he is in trouble.”
Twitter loved the dunk:
@realDonaldTrump [1] just got served, @VP [2] is wishing he was sitting on a beach, not looking at other women or other dudes. #SERVEDBYDEMOCRATS [3]
