Pelosi: Trump 'violent' and 'shrinking into this little world of his own'


Pelosi: Trump 'violent' and 'shrinking into this little world of his own'
By Cristina Marcos - 10/13/17 05:50 PM EDT


House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday that President Trump’s "actions are violent," questioning whether he even understands his own policy proposals.

In an op-ed on NBC's Think, Pelosi said she thinks Trump is in far over his head.

“What the president is doing, it's violent. His actions are violent,” Pelosi said, citing his actions on health care, nuclear proliferation and pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord.

“In effect, the president is just saying, ‘Stop the world.’ He wants to get off, because he doesn't know how to deal with any of these issues. He keeps shrinking into this little world of his own, and it's really dangerous to children and to the entire planet,” she added.

She suggested that Trump doesn’t understand basic components of health-care policy and is trying to undermine ObamaCare out of spite.

But the popular media seem incapable of grasping it: President Trump is in over his head, he doesn't know what he's doing, and he isn't going to ask for help, but instead blunder forward, harming all who are luckless enough to be in his path. This is really self-evident and doesn't require any special insight to discern.

The popular media, however, continue to bend over backwards, trying to make some kind of idiot sense out of Trump's endless string of blunders, boo-boos, and fuck-ups. Media folks: You are under no obligation to look at just the right angle, and squint just so to try to make Donald Trump's idiocy comprehensible. He's a 71-year-old man, not some bumbling tween-ager. Quit giving this dunderhead a pass and hold him to presidential standards. Just quit doing that.
