President Trump abruptly left a high-stakes budget meeting with Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi in Washington Wednesday; calling the negotiations a “total waste of time” after the Speaker said she has no plans on funding his proposed border wall.
“Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!” the president confirmed on social media.

The meeting comes just hours after President Trump directly addressed the American people Tuesday night; calling on Democrats to fully fund his border security initiatives and re-open the federal government.
