President Donald Trump walked out of a meeting with top Democratic lawmakers over the partial government shutdown Wednesday, saying that it was “a total waste of time.”_  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jan 11, 2019 4:31 PM UTC President Donald Trump walked out of a meeting with top Democratic lawmakers over the partial government shutdown Wednesday, saying that it was “a total waste of time.”  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jan 11, 2019 4:31 PM UTC Ahead of a [trip to McAllen, Texas](http://time.com/5499188/mcallen-residents-not-supporting-border-wall/), besides speaking to the media about his intention to [build a wall at the U.S. Mexican border](http://time.com/5499391/donald-trump-border-wall-mexico-pay/), President Donald Trump staunchly denied having temper tantrums. It all began when Senator Chuck Schumer said that Trump threw a temper tantrum after a meeting with him and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. In response, [Trump called Schumer “Cryin Chuck”](http://time.com/5498428/donald-trump-pelosi-schumer-meeting/) and said the reports were inaccurate. “I don’t have temper tantrums, I really don’t,” he said. His defensive response seemed to practically invite the jokes from late night television, and Jimmy Kimmel wholeheartedly enjoyed tearing in. “Nothing says ‘I didn’t throw a temper tantrum,’ like throwing another temper tantrum,” Kimmel cracked before positing that “Donald Trump puts the ‘tan’ in temper tantrum.” That wasn’t the only material Kimmel had a field day with: while addressing his threat to declare a national emergency if he doesn’t get money for his wall, Trump talked about things being “peachy dory,” a seeming amalgamation of “hunky dory” and “peachy keen.” Kimmel, for his part, got a movie pitch out of Trump’s new phrase. “Peachy Dory, of course, is the new movie from Pixar,” Kimmel joked as a graphic of Dory with a Trump combover and a caption that read “From the Creator of _The Lyin’ King_.” Watch the full clip below. ## Transcript [00:00] Well unfortunately, the President just got up and [00:02] walked out. He asked Speaker Pelosi, [00:06] will you agree to my wall? She said no, and he just got [00:10] up and said, then we have nothing to discuss, and he [00:13] just walked out. Again, we saw a temper tantrum, [00:17] because he couldn't get his way, and he just walked [00:20] out of the meeting. I asked him to open [00:24] up the government. That tomorrow, so many people [00:27] will have trouble paying their mortgages, paying their [00:30] bills, dealing with situations when they don't get paid. [00:34] And I said just why won't you do that? We'll continue to [00:37] discuss. We're willing to discuss anything And he said [00:44] if I open up the Government, you won't do what I want. [00:48] That's cruel, that's callous, and that's using millions of [00:52] innocent people as sort of pawns. And it was wrong. [00:57] And then, a few minutes later, he sort of Slam the table [01:02] and when leader Pelosi said she didn't agree with the [01:05] wall, he just walked out and said, we have nothing to [01:08] discuss. He said it was a waste of his time. He said it [01:10] was a waste of his time. That is sad and unfortunate. [01:15] We wanna come to an agreement. We believe in [01:17] border security. We have different views. We've [01:19] already offered the President our proposals which has [01:23] sat on his desk for several weeks. But [01:28] this was really, really unfortunate and in [01:32] my judgment somewhat unbecoming of a president. [01:34] Presidency. He asked Speaker Pelosi that if he opened [01:38] things up quickly, if he reopened the government [01:40] quickly, would she be willing to agree to funding [01:45] for a wall or a barrier on the southern border. And [01:49] when she said no, the president said goodbye. How [01:52] does it help that the president walked out of the How [01:53] is that getting closer to a solution? Well I [01:58] think the President made his position very clear today, [02:01] that there will be no deal without a wall. [02:05] There will be no deal without the priorities the [02:08] President has put on the table. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5500354/trump-speech-peachy-dory-jimmy-kimmel/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5500354/trump-speech-peachy-dory-jimmy-kimmel/"},"headline":"Trump Said He Didn't Have Temper Tantrums and Jimmy Kimmel Took It From There","datePublished":"2019-01-11T16:31:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-13T08:19:48.964Z","description":"All peachy dory over here","url":"https://time.com/5500354/trump-speech-peachy-dory-jimmy-kimmel/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Late Night"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4d53af3dce7d77e5/6989431986f68e478b6eb237/jimmy-kimmel-donald-trump-peachy-dory.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4d53af3dce7d77e5/6989431986f68e478b6eb237/jimmy-kimmel-donald-trump-peachy-dory.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ABC's \"Jimmy Kimmel Live\" - Season 16","caption":"ABC's \"Jimmy Kimmel Live\" - Season 16","creditText":"Randy Holmes—ABC via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5500354/trump-speech-peachy-dory-jimmy-kimmel/","name":"Trump Said He Didn't Have Temper Tantrums and Jimmy Kimmel Took It From There"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Senator Schumer and Vice President Mike Pence Speak After President Trump Walks Out of Meeting Over Shutdown","description":"President Donald Trump walked out of a meeting with top Democratic lawmakers over the partial government shutdown Wednesday, saying that it was “a total waste of time.”","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/foF6XFQt/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-01-09T21:47:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/foF6XFQt.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5500354/trump-speech-peachy-dory-jimmy-kimmel/","duration":"PT2M9S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5500354/trump-speech-peachy-dory-jimmy-kimmel/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
