The enmity between President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi deteriorated Thursday into rude-and-then-some questioning of his fitness for office and her sanity, with personal attacks flowing from both the nation's top elected officials after a dramatic blow-up at the White House.
"She's a mess," Trump told reporters at an afternoon news conference in which he lined up White House staff to testify to his calmness the day before when he walked out after three minutes at a meeting with Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer.As for himself, he declared,"I'm an extremely stable genius.
"I don't do cover-ups," fumed Trump, who is fighting subpoenas for testimony by current and former White House officials. On Thursday, subtlety went by the wayside. Pelosi said Trump has established a pattern of unpredictability, and at one point she even joked about the 25th Amendment, the Constitution's provision laying out the procedure for replacing a president.
Pelosi, the second in line to the presidency, said she thinks Trump's actions Wednesday were part of his skill at distraction. But she also suggested what he does isn't all strategic.
The “Donald” got Nancy flustered and the more he get on her case the more she stammers. She doesn’t look in control very much.
Change his mind like the Democrats who are constantly changing their minds. How many glasses of wine did you have this morning Nancy?
Whatever you are saying about Trump's action gives us some crew about yourself and your biases or hatred because you are not giving a reported speech but you are making interpretation based on your personality, worldview, opposition party and disregard for the American people
Thank you, Nancy! A sane voice against a deranged President!
