The Internet is Trolling Mike Pence For Being Trump’s Silent Wimpy Lapdog During Fiery Oval Office Meeting

A meeting between Donald Trump, Mike Pence, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in the Oval Office descended into chaos Tuesday as three of the four angrily argued over border wall funding — and reporters captured the whole thing. Mike Pence however, just sat silently and stared into space, often closing his eyes like he was asleep.

After Trump and Pelosi made some general comments, things spiraled out of control when Pelosi told the president that “you should not have a government shutdown” over border security. This seemed to set Trump off, and the two argued over whether he has the votes to pass a spending bill. “The fact is you don’t have the votes in the House,” Pelosi said, with Trump shooting back, “Nancy, I do.”

Schumer soon chimed in, telling Trump that The Washington Post gave him “a whole lot of Pinocchios” for his border wall claims, a comment Trump brushed off. “We want to do the same thing we did last year,” Schumer said of border spending. But Trump continued to insist that this is not enough, and the trio somehow began to trade barbs over the 2018 midterm election results. “When the president brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana, he’s in trouble,” Schumer said.

But most people had questions about Pence.
