Hello Yoda,
3 top people said the Democrats did not approach or call Trump to renegotiate after his EO.
Trump said they did, but has nothing to back it up, no record of a call or visit. As usual, he is making unfounded and completely baseless claims again.
That's 3 against 1. Clearly, Trump lied again.

Hell Yoda,
Actually it is the other way around. Pelosi is shrewd. She could see, as everyone else could, that Republicans were all over the place and had no agreement, no bill, nothing they could vote on. She was smart to let Trump threaten to 'take charge.' She set HIM up and he fell for it. Everybody said, including Republicans, that the president's power is not great enough to do this without Congress. But Trump wouldn't listen to the experts - he never does. He stepped right into it.
OK, he's had his 15 minutes of fame out of that one, now he will reap the repercussions for months, right up until November 3rd. Little of what he claimed will happen before then. People are not going to be getting an extra $400 with their unemployment checks. That ran out, and his order calls on States to set up a whole new system and also contribute funds to it. States are strapped. That's not happening. Trump overstepped his bounds, as usual. So now he's on the hook for people expecting an extra $400 and they are not going to be getting the money he promised. That's not the best way to get votes, promising people money they really need and then not delivering. He can call it a win right now. The proof will be after the people find out it was BS, all the way up to November 3rd.
Trump better hope he can get Republicans to agree on something that the Democrats will also approve if he wants to get out of this pickle.

Read this entire article and eventually you will get to the statement. Pelosi is Clearly dangling an olive branch after Trump stuck it to her signing the exec orders now she wants to salvage her embarrassment.
This article is dated TODAY...read it.
We have to reach an agreement," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday. "Meet us halfway and we'll be able to have an agreement that meets the needs of the American people."

Hello Yoda,
It doesn't say who Speaker Pelosi said that TO. Sounds like it was a response to a reporter. And all she is doing is reiterating what she has been saying all week. Democrats were at 3.2 Trillion, and offered to drop that by one trillion. Republicans were (sort of) at 1 trillion (but they couldn't even agree on that much) and lacked the unity to even make a sound compromise of 2 trillion, the halfway point Pelosi placed on the table last week. No counter offer has been made by the Republicans because Mitch doesn't have the votes to stand behind it.
Your link: "The executive orders have bypassed the stalled negotiation between the Democratic-led House and the administration, but detractors have cast doubt whether the president's actions will effectively help people. There are also questions as to Trump's ability to legally make certain decisions that constitutionally require an act of Congress.
"This is an unworkable plan," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday during an interview on ABC News. "Most states will take months to implement it, because it's brand new. It's sort of put together with spit and paste. And many states, because they have to chip in $100 [per person for the unemployment benefit], and they don't have money, won't do it." "

Trying to justify adding all kinds of crap to a bill that should have been straightforward and cut and dried and written as quickly as possible to help americans that need it. Instead we got months of democrats playing games hoping it would hurt trump and/or they could slide some unrelated crap by the gop
Pelosi knows she mistepped and took it too far and waited too long and Trump out trumped her.
