The dignity of the office
We’re going full-schoolyard now, it seems.
Trump takes a shot at Pelosi's intelligence, saying of his new NAFTA, "I don't think Nancy Pelosi understands the deal. It's too complicated. But it's not a complicated deal."

Trump then falsely claims Pelosi is holding up the new NAFTA even though "unions are in favour of it." He adds, "She's got to get up to snuff, learn the bill." Several big unions, and the AFL-CIO broadly, have been skeptical at best.

Trump then says he doesn't think Pelosi even has the ability to understand the USMCA: "I don't think she's capable right now of understanding it. I think she's got a lot of problems."

The Post reports that Pelosi said today she wished his family would do an intervention. (Don’t we all? One that entails his immediate permanent incarceration in a facility of their choice?)
Speaking at the White House Thursday afternoon, Trump dismissed the comment as a “very sort of a nasty type statement,” argued he was calm at the Wednesday session and called Pelosi “crazy Nancy.”
“She’s not the same person. She’s lost it,” he said.
It will be hair-pulling and biting next.
I’m sure he’s read every page of the deal, looking at the pictures counting how often the word “Trump” appears in the text, though he’d only get to ten (twenty if he takes off his shoes and socks).
So anything said about Trump gets turned around and applied to those who oppose him.
Isn’t there a term for that?
Reflection?
Protection?
Sorry, I’m not the same person. I’ve lost it.
