President Donald Trump fired back at Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday after she accused the president of failing to act quickly enough to combat the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
āSheās a sick puppy, in my opinion. She really is,ā Trump said. āSheās got a lot of problems. And thatās a horrible thing to say.ā
In anĀ interviewĀ Sunday, Pelosi said āas the President fiddles, people are dyingā and that Trump cost American lives by downplaying the crisis in the early days of the outbreak.
āI thought it was a disgrace, I think itās a disgrace to her country, her family,ā Trump said, adding, āWhat a horrible statement to make.ā
The president spoke about Pelosi in a phone interview on Fox NewsĀ on Monday morning.
The president reminded the country what Pelosi was doing when the outbreak first hit the world.
āDonāt forget, she was playing the impeachment game, you know her game where she ended up looking like a fool,ā Trump said.
The president recalled he received accolades for stopping travel from China to fight the virus at the end of January, something even some of his advisors believed was too strict.
āYou would have had deaths like youāve never seen before,ā he said.
