President Donald Trump has always been able to bully, boast, deflect, pay off and lie to get his way. (It also helped to have a ton of his father's money and ways to avoid paying taxes.) Now someone has sufficient power and is immune to his bullying, unimpressed by his boasting, tenacious enough not to let him off the hook and indifferent to his fortune. She's smarter, tougher and far better at negotiating.
This in a nutshell is why Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is running circles around Trump, who literally felt he had to flee when he couldn’t get her to capitulate.
