‘Evil woman, glad she is…’: Donald Trump responds to Nancy Pelosi’s retirement announcement

Responding to Nancy Pelosi’s retirement announcement, President Donald Trump called the former Speaker of the House an “evil woman” and a “tremendous liability” for the country. Trump said Pelosi “did a poor job” and “cost the nation a lot in damages and reputation,” claiming she did the “country a great service by retiring.” Trump’s remarks follow decades of fierce rivalry between the two political leaders—Pelosi led both impeachments against Trump and was a high-profile critic throughout his presidencies—while Pelosi’s own response to Trump has included strong language and symbolic rebukes.
