President Donald Trump was the clear winner in his live confrontation in front of the press with Democratic congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, political commentator Jeffrey Lord told Newsmax TV on Wednesday.
Trump "pulled the curtains back and let everybody see how the game is played for real," Lord told Wednesday's "The Brett Winterble Show." "And this is one of the reasons why he's sitting there in that Oval Office in the first place."
Lord emphasized the confrontation shows how "Donald Trump is the new American populism versus the old order, and what you saw [Tuesday] was the old order in that Oval Office confronting the president . . . this is an old order here that is crumbling fast, and they are furious that Donald Trump is in their midst."
Lord added this was a perfect example of Trump loving a foil, and "Nancy Pelosi is the best of the best of the best of the foils for the next two years. And he is going to have a great time making her the reason no wall is built."
Lord stressed "this story is going to move in the next days as we approach the shutdown threat" and Trump is setting up the Democrats to be blamed for whatever happens.
During the contentious meeting, Trump threatened the Democratic leaders repeatedly he would shut down the government if Congress does not provide the funds he says is needed to build a wall on the southern border.
