wow, you play a clip of the V.P. saying the President handed out candy. Nice how you didn't play the part about Nancy Pelosi a multimillionaire saying to the President that she would not negotiate and that's why he left. This is why you ALL (mainstream media) carry the moniker of Fake News and Enemy of the people. We are not fools, stop treating us like we are.
