Nothing planned at all:

Reporters have been called to the Rose Garden just as Democratic leaders were arriving at the White House for an infrastructure meeting.

And then, totally spontaneously:

Per person familiar with what happened in the room before this Rose Garden presser: POTUS did not sit down or shake anyone's hand. He told Dems that "once your investigation is done – we can talk about these things." And then he left the room before anyone else could speak.

Of course, no one saw this coming!

Senior administration sources @ABC News some aides close to President tried to stop him for marching to the Rose Garden for that event just now. Sources tell me & @KFaulders the president was mad from first thing this morning & comments by Speaker Pelosi pushed him over the edge

Because this President has NOTHING to hide!

"I don't do cover-ups," Trump says, making no mention of the hush money payments to a porn star and a Playmate to secure their silence about his affairs in the weeks before 2016 election https://t.co/ThzhWtDwKA

As usual, Nancy Pelosi has failed for simply going to the White House like a rational person:

BREAKING @SpeakerPelosi says she hoped to give the president an opportunity for an achievement on infrastructure “for some reason...he could not match the greatness of the challenge...he just took a pass”.

What was she thinking?

This is the guy Pelosi and Schumer are meeting with today to try and hammer out an infrastructure bill. It's beyond parody. https://t.co/I1Up32m4zd

Somebody is beyond parody here.
