Trump, in profanity-laced meeting with lawmakers, said he preferred 'strike' to refer to government shutdown: reports
By Morgan Gstalter - 01/05/19 08:25 AM EST

President Trump reportedly opened a meeting Friday with congressional leaders with an incendiary rant before saying he preferred the word “strike” to refer to the ongoing government shutdown, according to multiple reports.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump began Friday's heated closed-door negotiations with Senate Minority leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and newly minted House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with a 15-minute, profanity-laced rant. Sources familiar with the meeting also confirmed the account to CNN and The Daily Beast.

The president’s speech centered on his $5.6 billion demand for a border wall, according to CNN. The outlet reported that Trump said he would be unwilling to negotiate for any less.

The Daily Beast reported that Trump also blamed Pelosi, without being prompted, for freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) vowing at a party on Thursday that House Democrats would “impeach the mother f---er.”

President Johnson couldn't get through a sentence without profanity.  Never made the news like this.

Connect the dots, folks.  This unsourced "report" is all about protecting Tlaib.

That's the first thing I thought of when I read the headline.

I'm not sure I believe this story at all, but, at any rate, Trump's remarks were in a private meeting and the democrat rep made hers in a public statement.

Perhaps, but both sides of the political aisle are egging them on...it's all about "being a fighter", instead of acting like adults.

I'm not immune to speaking profane words, but I resolve to eradicate them from my speech. It sets a bad example for my children and grandson, and can harm my image as a father and grandfather. Profanity and volume are no substitute for proper speech that displays one's ability to think critically and logically.

Haven't we learned by now that there's no such thing as a "private meeting" in the People's House?

I don't use that language and I don't like to hear it but to single out Trump for it is not really fair.

Then the next step is for someone in Congress to introduce a censure resolution against the offender. It has to start somewhere.

Would those 'multiple member' sources be those paragons of honesty and virtue Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer? Hilarious.

Yeah, we know. When Sanders eventually comes out and semi-confirms this, by saying the president used strong terms to advocate an issue he cares deeply about, you'll resume your reverence of the 'NY street fighter' tactics.

Its a tired old tactic. The rats constantly try to offset news unflattering to them by projecting it onto the other side via their media lackies using unnamed sources.

I don't believe Trump used profanity, especially after the profanity from Tlaib.  That being said, I really don't care if they come to physical blows --- just as long as it's not in front of the cameras.  A 2x4 to the heads of Pelosi and Schumer may be exactly what the doctor's ordered.   :laugh:

It is tiresome.  But more tiresome are those who always choose to believe it.

I don't disagree. Someone on Facebook just tried to equate Trump calling NFL kneelers "SOBs" with what she called him.

In my opinion, vulgarity should be confined to the home or the golf course.  :laugh:  It's unseemly coming from public figures, especially elected officials.

Hah, right. Because Trump would never use profanity.

No, what's tiresome is how it inevitably proves to be true, then people who originally called it fake news attempt to justify it. See the 'shithole' controversy as an example.

Behind closed doors is one thing, to publicly call the President of the United States a mother****** is quite another.

Can we please get on with our Congressmen and women doing their jobs instead of playing these childish school yard bully games?

I don't care if he did.  I'm pretty anti-profanity, but if a situation ever called for it, this is it.

And, can you believe we are arguing over profanity?  Don't we have some real issues to worry about?

NO depths here.  I don't expect everyone to hold the same standards I do, and I don't expect the President to make public remarks using profanity and he never has.
