Ross: Maybe Trump’s transparency should be more like a TV game show

Donald Trump has guts. He invited House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer into the Oval Office and let the cameras stay. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself across the guy who’s been trolling you? You’d debate him, right?

And Pelosi did just that.

“People are losing their jobs, the market is in a mood …” she said to the president.

“We’re at the lowest unemployment we’ve had in 50 years,” Trump snapped back.

But then she said the discussion was becoming “devoid, frankly, of fact.”

Devoid of fact! Pelosi didn’t think it was appropriate to have this discussion on camera.

“We came in here in good faith, and we are entering into this kind of discussion in the public view,” Pelosi said.

“But it’s called transparency,” Trump said.

“It’s not transparency when we are not stipulating to a set of facts,” Pelosi argued.

So fact check each other! And let us watch. Do it like The Voice – Pelosi sings her song, Schumer sings his, Trump sings his, and we see who America saves.

And they did reach a breakthrough at the meeting. They agreed that if the government shuts down because Congress won’t pay for Trump’s border wall, the president will own it.

“Yes, if we don’t get what we want, I will shut down the government,” Trump said. “Absolutely. I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didn’t work.”

So that’s settled. Now, I want to see him bring Hillary in.
