• A meeting between President Donald Trump and Democratic leaders on Friday included so many expletives that Trump reportedly apologized to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
• The contentious gathering comes amid a partial government shutdown, now stretching past its second week, after Trump stressed he would not sign any short-term funding bill that does not include funding for his proposed border wall.
• Trump reportedly mentioned "f--k" during the meeting at least three times and sought to reframe the shutdown, which is affecting 800,000 federal employees, as a worker "strike."

A meeting between President Donald Trump and Democratic leaders on Friday included so many expletives that Trump later apologized to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, an official familiar with the incident told The Washington Post on Friday.
