Several times before she got him to agree to to something that the Rs didn't want, so they shut it down. Now she get agreements from him and pass them in the House. This puts Trump and the Senate in the uncomfortable position of either passing something Trump agreed to but they don't want, or looking like idiots because Pelosi gave Trump what he says he wants, and he still can't get it done.
