Trump’s Strange Nancy Pelosi Claim Draws Instant Fact Check From Her Daughter
HuffPost
Christine Pelosi said the bizarre moment is part of the presumptive GOP candidate's "deceitful, deranged obsession with our mother."
A startling claim that former President Donald Trump allegedly made Thursday about yearslong political enemy Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her family received a swift debunking from one of the former House speaker’s daughters, who called the presumptive GOP candidate “unwell, unhinged and unfit.”
Trump privately met with Washington’s Republican lawmakers in what was labeled a policy meeting, where House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) hoped to lay out the party’s legislative vision for 2025 should the former president retake the White House.
At the meeting, Trump called Pelosi’s daughter a “whacko” who allegedly told him that her mother and the former president would “be perfect together” in different circumstances, according to reporting from Punchbowl News. The candidate did not appear to specify which of Pelosi’s daughters he was referring to.
“There is an age difference, though,” the GOP candidate reportedly said of Pelosi, who is six years older than him. Trump is currently married to a woman who is 24 years younger than him.
