Nancy is going to get some scorching tweets

She's redeeming herself a bit in my eyes.

Minutes after a very public showdown with Donald Trump over his border wall with Mexico, the California Democrat returned to the Capitol and railed against the president in a private meeting with her colleagues.

Trump “must have said the word ‘wall’ 30 times,” the House minority leader said, according to multiple sources in the room.

“I was trying to be the mom,” she added, but “it goes to show you: You get into a tinkle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you.”

And then, Pelosi went for the most sensitive part of Trump’s ego.

“It’s like a manhood thing with him — as if manhood can be associated with him,” she deadpanned. “This wall thing.”

Congressional Democrats are feeling smug — and actually a little excited — for the looming shutdown fight with the president after Tuesday’s Oval Office meeting.

Great, but the rest of us are getting a little nervous. There's no telling what the lunatic might do.

“The Trump shutdown is something that can be avoided and that the American people do not need at this time of economic uncertainty, and people losing jobs and the market in a mood and the rest,” Pelosi told reporters as she was leaving the White House meeting. “It is a luxury — the Trump shutdown is a luxury that the American people cannot afford.”

And when did Trump give a shit about the American people?

“The press is all there! Chuck is really shouting out. I was trying to be the mom. I can’t explain it to you. It was so wild,” she said, later adding: “But the fact is we did get him to say — to fully own that the shutdown was his — that was an accomplishment.”

On the campaign trail, the president had vowed that Mexico would pay for any southern barrier — not the United States. Pelosi and Schumer reminded him during the rare public meeting Tuesday that he failed to keep this vow.

At one point, after reporters and TV cameras left the Oval Office, Trump told Pelosi and Schumer that the new trade agreement he recently struck with Canada and Mexico was going to pay for the wall, Pelosi told lawmakers.

OMG! Did they wet their pants?

In private, however, Trump suggested both U.S. neighbors would pay for the construction with the new NAFTA agreement.

Eyeroll.

"If we don't get what we want ... I will shut down the government,” Trump said in the Oval Office before a room full of reporters and TV cameras. “I am proud to shut down the government for border security... I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I won't blame you for it."

I wouldn't worry if I thought shutting down the government was the only thing he'd do if he can't get his way.

I may have to reconsider Nancy's remark about telling him to pray about it.  That may have been another poke at the bear.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez two doors down from her is doing Nancy some good.
