Seriously. Most in Republican leadership positions these days are dutiful authoritarian followers.

Apologies to those without Twitter accounts. It is a "who's in control in this photo" poll. Nancy Pelosi or Donald Trump?

Currently Nancy wins 92 to 8! Lolol.

The other woman in the picture isn't exactly hidden, she just blends in a bit more.

Nancy is definitely the most commanding and dynamic and the only woman to be seen "at the table" though.

Worth studying.

Nancy is leaning forward on the table, right index finger up and pointed at Trump. Very much on the attack.

Trump is backed away from the table, left shoulder back, look of surprise on his face. About to get up and run? Very much surprised.

Two figures on either side of Trump, identical posture, hands clasped on table. Defensive posture?

Others: looking away, looking down. Second person on Nancy's right leaning forward, focussed. Studying Trump's reaction. There, she said it - 'The Emperor has no clothes!'.
Others think 'yeah, we know, but it's so rude to point that out. Quite embarrassing!'

Even the bust of Franklin (?) in the background appears to be paying close attention to Nancy.

But yes, in Trump's mind, anyone who stands up to Trump is 'unhinged' and having a 'meltdown'. But he is projecting again.
'It's not me, it's you!' type of juvenile response.

That picture is going to convince a lot of Senators who may be wavering on Trump that this President needs to go.
