President Trump tweeted that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) would be elected again as House Speaker, adding that she “deserves” the post.

Said Trump: “I can get Nancy Pelosi as many votes as she wants in order for her to be Speaker of the House. She deserves this victory, she has earned it — but there are those in her party who are trying to take it away. She will win!”

seriously need to rethink.

If he thinks this is going to all of a sudden make Dems NOT want to support Pelosi, he's got another thing coming. F off, Trump.

Nancy Pelosi being Speaker of the House is a fait accompli.

But on second thought yes Donny you did help Nancy get back her speakership
because millions and millions of people turned out to vote because they don't
like you.

...so that he has a female foe to bash. Hillary isn't in a position of power, and not running, so she's wearing thin as a target. Pelosi is the perfect target in their mind, female, from San Francisco, he needs her as the enemy to gin up his mostly male, rural, southern base.

The republicans ran tons of ads against Pelosi during the election, trying to tie all the Dem candidates to her. They thought that was a winning strategy. lol They got their asses kicked. And they're stupid enough to think it'll work this time. Good luck with that. She's gonna spank his butt and send the man-baby to his room without his dinner.

How can he be so confident he can persuade Dems to vote for her?

Anyone else get an ominous shiver, especially since Trump just had a meeting with Putin in Paris?
