President Donald Trump opened his surprise appearance in the White House briefing room with words of congratulation for newly elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
“I just want to start off by congratulating Nancy Pelosi on being elected speaker of the House,” Trump said. “It’s a very, very great achievement, and hopefully we’re going to work together, and we’re going to get lots of things done, like infrastructure and so much more, and I know they want to do that very badly and so do I.”
“So hopefully we have a lot of things we can get done together and I actually think it will work out,” he continued. “I think it will be a little bit different than a lot of people are thinking so I congratulate Nancy. Tremendous, tremendous achievement.”
Trump and Pelosi have a complicated relationship, and the President seems to have a grudging respect for his political foe.
