President Trump went after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, calling her a “nervous wreck” minutes before giving a speech commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Allied D-Day landings.
“I think she is a disgrace,” Trump said Thursday in a Fox News interview. “I actually don’t think she’s a talented person. I’ve tried to be nice to her because I would have liked to have gotten some deals done. She’s incapable of doing deals. She’s a nasty, vindictive, horrible person.”
Trump continued his two-minute rant against the California Democrat by giving her the new nickname “Nervous Nancy.”
“But Nancy Pelosi, I call her ‘Nervous Nancy.’ Nancy Pelosi doesn’t talk about it,” Trump said, claiming special counsel Robert Mueller had messed up his investigation report. “Nancy Pelosi is a disaster, OK. She’s a disaster.”
“She is a terrible person. And I will tell you, her name it’s ‘Nervous Nancy’ because she is a nervous wreck,” Trump said to end his discussion of the speaker.
“I don’t talk about the president while I’m out of the country,” Pelosi said, when pressed by a reporter about impeachment ahead of Trump’s speech. “That’s my principle.”
Trump’s attack of the speaker came minutes before he gave a widely lauded speech commemorating the Allied D-Day landings.
