During a White House meeting, Hakeem Jeffries spotted a ‘Trump 2028’ hat and asked JD Vance ‘Hey, bro, you got a problem with this?’

Trump 2028, they said, is located on the other side of the legislators sitting, Vice President JD Vance And many of the diet you did not touch.

Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez He bowed to Vans, himself is a possible 2028 competitor, and mocked, “Hey, my brother, have you faced a problem with this?”

The room laughed in response.

“It was the most random in the world, because we are sitting there, we are in a serious conversation, and suddenly these two red caps appear,” Jeffrez later recalled in the Capitol.

“All was not respected,” Jeffrez said, describing a photographer in picking up the moment. “We were there for serious reasons that were not a large part of the debate, as you know, it was a play.”

The moment was Trump’s ancient- attracting attention and seeking to get rid of negotiators from their game- but he also stressed the president’s respect for Congress, a Takaful branch in the governmentEspecially his opponents through the political corridor.

From the first historical meeting to viral hunting

What was considered one day is a historical occasion- the President of the United States, who holds his first “major” meeting of Congress leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate- was reduced to other viral gifts for Trump, who coincides with his opponent.

After a session of more than an hour, Trump Failed With leaders to prevent the federal government from closing.

“We don’t want to close,” Trump said at the White House the next day, hours before the final date of the middle of the night.

This was not just a routine meeting of the president and the leadership of Congress. This was the first time that Trump gathered the leaders of Congress, and more than eight months in his presidency – and the first time he and Geoffrez officially meet.

But the most surprising is how small it is.

Health care funds for discussion with the president listened

During the White House meeting, Jeffrez and Democratic Leader of the Senate They put their arguments to provide health care financing as part of the closure talks.

The leaders said that Trump said very little, as he listens more than the hadith.

“He does not seem to know about the healthcare premiums that are very high,” said Shomer.

With the Republican leadership, Parliament Speaker Mike Johnsonand Senate leader John ThunThe conversation ranged through their views about health care.

“Vital”, as Thun later said.

The discussion included the demands of the Democrats to ensure Subsidies To help people buy special insurance in the stock exchanges run by the law of affordable prices that are made permanent. The subsidies were placed in place during the Covid-19 and It is scheduled to end at the end of the yearSections of adherence as much as weak, in some estimates.

The conversation also touched on the new Rural Hospital Fund for the Republicans, which was created under the Trump Grand Bill as a way to compensate for this Discounts to medicaid Health care providers.

Johnson said Trump showed “a strong strong leadership. He listened to the arguments.”

Attempt to draw the attention of the president

This is the best that Democrats could have hoped – broadcast in front of the president who began to turn the demand towards their demands. This is what the leaders of the Republican Party tried to avoid as each party tries to blame the closure on the other hand.

Johnson Trump suggested again from The initial meetingWith the Democrats – after the president agreed to one – on the pretext that it would be “a waste of time.”

But Trump has declined, and They gave them a closed oval office on Monday a class.

Democrats were here before. During the first period of Trump, the President is negotiating repeatedly with Democrats – “Chuck and Nancy,” Schumer and Emerita Nancey Pelosi also called for government financing, raising debt limit and achieving other goals.

Those deals made by Trump thwarted his Republican party.

Republicans, who are aware of this date, are trying to convert in a different direction, leaving the door open to discuss the issue of health care with Democrats at a later time – once the government reopens. They also faced a problem with Trump’s description as unaware of the depth or size of the health care condition.

“I am very skeptical that the president was heard about him for the first time,” Vans said after that.

One of the unauthorized Republicans said to discuss the private meeting publicly and gave not to disclose her identity to do so that Shomer’s suggestion that Trump did not know about the problem of support exaggerated.

Until now in his second term, the president managed to accomplish his priorities either alone, with executive procedures and repair led by Elon Musk that tore the federal offices, or with a compatible conference A single beautiful invoice workThis is also nourishing the mass deportation agenda.

But Washington is not working on the White House alone, and Congress is not a majority institution. Converting most bills to laws requires the submission of a settlement between the two parties, especially in the Senate, especially when it comes to the annual allocations necessary to preserve the government.

Then came sombrero sarcasm

Hours after the legislators left the meeting, the Trump team released a fake video clip showing Jeffrez decorated in Somperiro with Sharp Fu standing next to Schumer outside the White House. He was widely seen as racist.

“When I was doing the law, there was a Latin phrase that was always one of the favorites,” Jeffrez said in his office in Capitol. “Resa Loquitur. This means: the thing talks about itself.”

He said: “We had a full broadcast of our locations on Monday, which should have been specified for the foundation line for a follow -up conversation from the administration to try to re -ignite the purposeful way to financing the government.”

“Unfortunately, the president’s behavior deteriorated after the White House meeting to an unlimited and unresponsive work.”
