President Trump lashed out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) two days after she issued a letter to her Democratic colleagues criticizing the President’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak.
On Tuesday night, Pelosi wrote in the letter that Trump “took insufficient action and caused unnecessary death and disaster” after dismissing warnings of the approaching pandemic earlier in the year.
Pelosi also argued that Trump “dismantled the infrastructure handed to him which was meant to plan for and overcome a pandemic ” and that the economy is now a disaster thanks to his “incompetent reaction” to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Trump’s response to the letter came in a Thursday morning tweet that cites a quote from Fox News’ Sean Hannity calling Pelosi a “weak person.”
Crazy “Nancy Pelosi, you are a weak person. You are a poor leader. You are the reason America hates career politicians, like yourself.” @seanhannity She is totally incompetent & controlled by the Radical Left, a weak and pathetic puppet. Come back to Washington and do your job!

Later Thursday, Trump slammed Pelosi in another tweet, echoing his accusation made during that the White House coronavirus task force briefing the night before that the House Speaker encouraged people to “pack into” San Francisco’s Chinatown in late January.
Crazy Nancy Pelosi deleted this from her Twitter account. She wanted everyone to pack into Chinatown long after I closed the BORDER TO CHINA. Based on her statement, she is responsible for many deaths. She’s an incompetent, third-rate politician! pic.twitter.com/uWNI7DCG3o

I love the smell of trump rage tweets in the morning.
Please. She’s running circles around him.
It would be nice if once, just once, he would do something useful, rather than slander people. I know, it’s all in his nature, but it’s gettin’ monotonous.
Projection rears its ugly head again.
Gee Don, deflect much, you weak and pathetic Russian puppet.
