No Response


Nancy Pelosi did appear on FoxNews this morning.  This is part of what she had to say:

“I’ll tell you why I came to that,” Pelosi recalled. “What I decided was the president has made many mistakes. Okay, let’s have an after-action review of that.”

“But if he continued to put forth proposals that were not science based… what did he say? It’s a hoax, it’s magically going to go away? Okay, put that aside,” she continued. “But to proceed with policies that were not science based, which are not evidence based and to blame others.”

“Name anybody, blame the governors, blame me, blame the World Health Organization,” Pelosi said of Trump. “Leaders take responsibility. So I said he’s a weak leader. He doesn’t take responsibility. He places blame on others.”
Well, you can see above how Trump responded.   Nicole Wallace was not wrong:

But it's worth noting that, once again, Trump didn't respond to a word Pelosi said.  He made vague and generally harmless ad hominems (he even put "dumb" in quotes so he didn't have to handle it) and then, oddly, did the same with "Speaker," which is the title and office she holds.  Worth reminding him there are only four offices named in the Constitution:  President, Vice-President, Speaker of the House, and Chief Justice.  Of those four, Speaker is the one that appears first.

Have to admit, I kind want to see him drinking out of the dog's water bowl.
