Even Ms. Pelosi, seasoned stateswoman she is, has taken to goading Piddles the Clown. Beaded curtain? I had to change my shirt from my drink coming out my nose reading that. People who otherwise wouldn't dream of talking to a colleague like this, much less the President of the Untied States, are partaking in potshots at Orange Shartfunkle. They mock him while in the same breath show WHY he's an idiot. The playground back-and-forth plays well with idiots, hence Trump, but the important part is some of those idiots can actually be reached because they legit just don't know better. Playground taunts are one thing, but backing them up with reality may catch the attention of those that CAN be reached. That aside, the point of goading someone is to get them to do stuff or say stuff and in il Douche's case, make himself look more like an idiot which has knock-on effects down-ticket and puts pressure on Republicans to do something about him.
Remember, these are seasoned Democratic pols who would otherwise never engage in playground politics that are... engaging in playground politics. They're doing on purpose for purpose and slyly putting the screws to Republicans. When the subject isn't Count Nodicula, they talk policies and ideas.
Me, I do it because it's funny.
Edit: So I just noticed the "Untied States" spelling error...

...I'll leave it.
