The president told lawmakers gathered in the meeting to disregard the outline, which listed several of his key proposals, including $18 billion in funding for a border wall.

“It’s like the wedding where someone actually stands up and objects to the wedding,” the lawmaker told the Post. “It was that moment.”

During the televised portion of the meeting, Trump said that any legislative solution for the thousands of "Dreamers," immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children, should be a "bill of love."

Democrats pushed for a legislative fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that was ultimately stonewalled by Trump and Republican leaders in the Senate, resulting in a federal shutdown at midnight on Friday.
