We begin this half hour with President Trump blasting House Speaker nancy pelosi after an explosive meeting at the white house focused on his sudden decision to pull u. S. Troops from syria. The president posted photos of the meeting after Democratic Leaders walked out. This one captioned saying quote nervous nancys unhinged meltdown. But democrats say its the president who had a meltdown calling pelosi a thirdrate politician. She suggested he was shaken up after so many House Republicans voted to oppose his decision to leave kurdish allies to fend for themselves. The president also took a swipe at the kurds saying quote theyre no angels and handed out copies of a bizarre letter he wrote to turkeys president about the assault on the kurds. As the president defends his decision the Vice President and secretary of state are arriving in turkey hoping to negotiate a ceasefire. Abcs Jonathan Karl has more.

Reporter fox news obtained a short letter the president sent turkish president erdogan on the same day turkey launched its offensive against the kurds. Lets work out a good deal, he wrote, you dont want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and i dont want to be responsible for destroying the turkish economy. And i will. History will look upon you forever as the devil if good things dont happen. Dont be a tough guy, dont be a fool. The white house offers a very different description of what happened at that meeting. According to White House Press secretary Stephanie Grisham quote the president was measured, factual, and decisive. She says that the speakers decision to walk out of the meeting was quote baffling and the white house points out that other democratic members of congress that were at the meeting stayed behind until it was over.
