President Donald Trump hosted a combative, and at times angry, meeting on Tuesday with Democratic leadersNancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer. And, through it all, Vice President Mike Pence remainedsilent and stoic, leading many to ponder just what was going on inside his head.

The three other political leaders sparred over border security, with Trump pushing for long promisedbut not builtwall along the southern border of the United States.

"I am proud to shut down the government for border security...I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. Im not going to blame you for it,"Trump saidabout his wall. The presidentbickeredand interrupted frequently,inspiring Pelosi to literally point out that the conversation had "spiraled downwards."

Schumer, for his part, mocked Trump to his face after the president bragged about winning Senate seatsin relatively unsurprising states in the recent 2018 midterms.

When the president brags he won North Dakota and Indiana hes in real trouble, Schumer said during the meeting, which was (somewhat awkwardly) televised.

All-in-all, it was an odd, antagonistic meeting for Trump, Pelosi and Schumer. Oh, and Pence was also in the room. But Pence, well, didn't say very much as Trump went back-and-forth with the Democratic leaders from the House and Senate. A bit slouched, distant andlargely silent, Pence was quickly the subject of Twitter jokesbecause, well, of course.

"Mike Pence is the worst member of this improv team," joked New York Times culture writer Sopan Deb, for instance.
