Any meeting would connect Trump to the situation WITH Democrats…. In a lengthy Tuesday social media post, Trump rejected the sit-down the White House had agreed to the day before. “I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive,” Trump wrote in the post. Trump did not close the door on a future sit-down with the Democratic leaders, but he warned of a “long and brutal slog” ahead unless Democrats dropped their demands to salvage health care funds…. …Democrats are working to protect health care programs.
