Trump has testy meeting with GOP senators, telling Cassidy to sit down

Source: CBS News

President Trump's meeting with Republican senators on Wednesday turned testy, and at one point, he sternly told Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy to sit down, after questions arose about the War Powers Resolution, according to sources directly familiar with the meeting.

Cassidy had been trying to respond to the president, telling the president he should sit down — but Cassidy later relented, saying he would be seated, but not at Mr. Trump's behest.

"He raised his voice. I lost my temper. That's not appropriate. It's the Irish in me, but I again matched his tone and his volume," Cassidy told reporters after the meeting.

"I make no apologies for standing up to the president," Cassidy said. "I am sticking up for the American people, even if I'm speaking to the president."

Why do these people act so weak in front of Trump.

If you can not find the words on your own, quote Shakespeare.

There are about 20 to 30 quotations that apply to Trump.
Not the ones that praise virtues but the ones attack vices.

MENENIUS
There is no more
mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
--Shakespeare, Coriolanus 5.4.28-29

PISANIO
[His] tongue
Outvenoms all the worms of Nile.
--Shakespeare, Cymbeline 3.4.34-35

PORTIA
When
he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he
is worst he is little better than a beast.
--Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice 1. 2. 82-84
