Brief excerpt from a 10/16/19 news report (link). Emphasis is added:

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Democratic leaders’ White House meeting was cut short after Republican President Donald Trump had a “meltdown” over a House of Representatives vote condemning his Syria withdrawal.

Trump was insulting to Pelosi and the meeting deteriorated into a diatribe by Trump, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters....

...“I think that vote - the size of the vote, more than 2-1 of the Republicans voted to oppose what the president did - probably got to the president. Because he was shaken up by it,” Pelosi said after emerging from the White House.

“And that’s why we couldn’t continue in the meeting because he was just not relating to the reality of it.”"

From an agitated House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a verbatim quotation in the video above:

"I have served with six presidents. I have been in many, many, many meetings like this. Never have I seen a president preach so disrespectfully...a co-equal branch of the government of the United States..."

We owe it to our children, so that future presidents will have accountability.

We owe it to the generations of Americans who have fought and died to defend this country. -NP pic.twitter.com/DcomnaslTK

Really hope somebody sane (- and not co-opted (by Trump) -) is standing guard over the "gold codes" these days...
