Trump vs Pelosi -- she wins

Trump is out of his league with Nancy Pelosi -- and doesn't know it;   but he's soon going to find out that Nancy Pelosi is not the "little woman" that he can push around or out-smart.   Here's some of what transpired between them yesterday, reported by the Associated Press.

"Pelosi told NBC's "Today" show that Democrats want the 'Trump shutdown' to end but she's unwilling to fund Trump's wall.   'There's no amount of persuasion he can use,' she said, to make her give in.

Explaining why it's difficult to negotiate with Trump, Pelosi said that "it is difficult because he 'resists science, evidence, data, truth. . . .  It's hard to pin the president down on the facts.'"

Trump then criticized her for taking a trip to Hawaii over the holidays, while he canceled his planned visit to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida because of the shutdown
(and then tweeted out a "poor me" lament over being all alone in the White House).

Pelosi responded to his criticism of her going to Hawaii by saying:   "The president may not know this, but Hawaii is part of the United States of America."  And, she says, she was available on 24 hours notice.
