Trump Says He Hopes Dems Don't Force Pelosi Out

Source: Roll Call



‘That would be very bad for the Republican Party,’ president tweets

President Donald Trump tweeted he hopes House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stays as leader of the Democrats.

But Trump’s tweet was not well-wishing. Rather, Trump said “it would be very bad for the Republican Party” if Pelosi were forced out.

Trump’s tweet came amid criticism from some Democrats that the House minority leader is becoming a drag on the party and blamed a string of near-misses in House special elections on Pelosi, most recently Republican Karen Handel’s win over Jon Ossoff in Georgia.

Trump said he hoped Pelosi and “Cryin’ Chuck stay” in reference to Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer.

Here he is resorting to "clever mind games" a five-year-old might try.

not very presidential. Obama would never have tweeted such hatred.

Chuck and Nancy may take the heat, but they have experience in what will fly and what won't.

We don't need to become the Tea Party of the left, that would suit Donnie just fine.

That of course doesn't mean that Democrats should take strategic advice from Trump.

for setting such a fine example for our children to follow.

Don't be a bully, don't call people names.

What a piece of shit.

He believes this bullshit will fool Democrats. It would fool HIM, for sure, but not anyone with a fully functioning brain.
