A White House official said that Trump called Pelosi a "third-rate politician."



Whatever the insult, Democrats decided that remaining in the meeting would be unproductive.

"This is not useful," Hoyer said in the meeting, according to a senior Democratic aide. Hoyer and Pelosi then left the meeting, followed by Schumer shortly after.

As they left, Trump said: "Goodbye, we'll see you at the polls."

Trump also questioned Pelosi's opposition to ISIS at one point, according to the Democratic aide.



"I hate ISIS more than you do," Trump said to Pelosi.

"You don't know that," Pelosi replied.



"Does that mean we can't have future meetings? No. Just depends on the subject, I guess. Does it mean we can't pass things working together? If we can, we will," she said.



"But there has to be some level of values, of calmness, of patriotism, a love of our country and our system, and not a personal invective because he didn't like the way a vote went on any given day," Pelosi said.



Brett Samuels contributed. Pelosi dismissed the notion that Democrats cannot work with Trump given the track record of meetings that have ended in blowups.
