In his press conference Wednesday, President Trump criticized “incompetent” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for helping to create a panic about the coronavirus.
“I think she’s incompetent and I think she’s not thinking about the country,” Trump said. “Instead of making a statement like that where I’ve been beating her routinely at everything, instead of making a statement like that, she should be saying we have to work together because we have a big problem potentially, and maybe it’s going to be a very little problem…
“I’m just saying, we should all be working together. She’s trying to create a panic, and there’s no reason to panic because we have done so good,” he added.
“All they’re trying to do is get a political advantage. This isn’t about political advantage. We’re all trying to do the right thing,” he concluded. “They shouldn’t be saying, ‘This is terrible. President Trump isn’t asking for enough money.’ How stupid a thing to say… They’re not demeaning me. They’re demeaning the greatest health care professionals in the world.”
