PELOSI re Trump's tweet: "He made a mistake-I think part of it is his own insecurity as an imposter"

“He made a mistake,” @SpeakerPelosi says on Trump's tweet about Yovanovitch during her testimony. “I think part of it is his own insecurity as an impostor...he knows full well he's in that office way over his head. And so he has to diminish everyone else.”

I'm just an old hillbilly, but I've seen plenty of blowhards like him, just on a different scale of nastiness.

How lucky we are to have people of the quality, dedication, and intelligence of our House Dems!

go back to his childhood, I'm not a psychiatrist or psychologist, but he has some deep issues and he likes to afflict pain on others, and in his words does not give a shit about anything expect himself.

His brother was an alcoholic, his sister was a judge but stepped down because of money issues (was it stealing), his parents probably were not nurturing or caring. He probably hated his parents for how they treated him. But he's a thug and criminal.

he's loaded the White House and many of the government bureaus with people just as unqualified as him, rather than stocking up on the sharpest people to make him look good.

Not one ounce of sympathy from this house or from Speaker Pelosi for poor widdle spoiled brat Donny......

And if it doesn't work, he escalates. The only response he knows.

An intelligent man would take a step backward, and ask himself why this approach isn't working.
And maybe come up with a different approach.

Those things are way beyond Trump's mental capacity though.

I made an early donation to McAdams who was running against Mia Love in Utah. Later during the election he announced he would not vote for Pelosi if elected.

Much to my surprise, he called him for more money. I told him I would not donate again because of his stand on Pelosi. I was pissed about the way Hillary was treated in 2016 and read him the riot act. I felt kinda guilty as he is one of us.

But I often wonder if he knows how stupidly wrong he was. And all of the other "new blood-ers". She is and always has been excellent.

Brilliant, well spoken, measured.
