Nancy Pelosi Takes Donald Trump’s Insult, Fires It Right Back At Him
“The president is a master at projecting,” Pelosi told CNN’s Jake Tapper after Trump claimed she’d had “a nervous fit.”





“When he calls somebody else nervous, he’s the nervous one,” she said.


Pelosi also rejected Trump’s belief that she didn’t actually pray for him, despite what she had earlier stated.

“When he suspects that somebody is not praying, he’s probably not praying,” she said. “But I do pray for him because he is the president of the United States and I pray that God will open his heart to meeting the needs of people in our country.” Pelosi said she also prayed for Trump’s health, safety and family.

“It doesn’t bother me what he thinks about that,” she concluded. “All the more reason to pray for him.”

Like it or not, this is a sound byte era we're living in. Nancy fires right back at him and it gets her point across.

Maybe now the media will feel like they have permission to call Trump's projection tweets projection? His little twit fits are obviously meant to deflect or demean, and very often reveal what he's feeling as he insults others. But the media can't seem to bring themselves to state the obvious. It took them a hell of a long time to call Trump's lies as lies and even now some reporters can't quite tell it like it is. I hope Pelosi's calling out his projection starts a similar trend in media reporting.

Media folks: Just because Trump tweets something out, doesn't make it true or call it into existence. Sometimes, quite often in fact, Trump tweets things that are complete and utter bullshit to try to cover for his own failings. It's okay to report that when you see it.

...Nancy was being excited and enthusiastic over impeaching trump's ass and to patriotically save our country and democracy...

...if you want to see 'nervous', pay close attention to trump's crotch during the impeachment proceedings as he overflows his Depends...

...people near trump will start to wrinkle their nose's after about 10 minutes...

...guaranteed...

More projection. He can't believe she is praying for him because he can't imagine doing anything for the benefit of anyone but himself. The concept is completely foreign to him.

Take him down, Nancy! You are spectacular!

Projection aside, he STILL does not comprehend that local issues are handled by local officials, and not their representatives in the US Congress. He's such a goddamn moron.

And, yes. He IS a master at projection. Just like the rest of the GOP. I'm glad people are finally pointing that out.

or, the "I know you are but what am I?" strategem. Either way, it's pure deflection.

But with the body parts he's grabbed, it could be valid.
