Nancy Pelosi walks out of the White House looking like a boss — and the internet is losing it
Nancy Pelosi walked out of the White House today carrying herself like a queen.
On Tuesday afternoon, the House minority leader, along with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., met the president to discuss border funding amid a possible government shutdown.
The conversation soon broke down, with Schumer accusing the president of throwing a “temper tantrum.” Although she was repeatedly interrupted by the president and completely disregarded at times, Pelosi reminded the world of her quiet strength and leadership skills, which she described later by saying, “I was trying to be the mom.”
During the conversation, the president interrupted Pelosi 15 times, according to The Week. At one point, the president even went as far as to say, “It’s not easy for [Pelosi] to talk right now.”
Pelosi coolly shot back, “Please don’t characterize the strength that I bring to this meeting as the leader of the House Democrats, who just won a big victory.”
Of the discussion, Pelosi said, “We came in here in good faith, and we are entering into this kind of a discussion in the public view.”
She then exited the discussion like a boss — and the internet definitely took note.

Nancy Pelosi trying to calmly explain to Trump how the government works while he blithely talks over her and says things like "I have the White House" is a microcosm for what women deal with every day when working with idiots in power. https://t.co/c4to8YPeuV

Women like Nancy Pelosi & Hillary Clinton repeatedly go on television and display brilliance & composure in the face of angry men spewing venom, and they never get credit for the pillars of intelligence & preparedness that they are.
