Donald Trump is terrified of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and he’s obsessively jealous of former President Barack Obama. For a man with a massive ego that needs to be fed hourly, Trump is a profoundly insecure man, and Pelosi knows how to get to him when he’s been a very naughty boy. The Trump administration has bungled the handling of the coronavirus at every turn.
The current administration has failed to meet its promised timeline of having a million coronavirus tests available by the end of the week. And yet, on Wednesday, Trump somehow blamed his predecessor over the lack of testing for the coronavirus. America is left with an anti-science, illiterate president with a possible pandemic looming, and instead of soothing the public, Trump has been circulating false information in between taking juvenile jabs on Twitter at his critics.
Trump railed against then-President Barack Obama in 2014 over the spread of Ebola in West Africa. The former reality show star even called Obama a “psycho.” But now, there’s a more deadly virus that’s hit the U.S., and the markets are tumbling.
Nancy Pelosi wasn’t taking any of Donald’s shit and pushed back after the president blamed Obama for his own ineptness.

“The reality is in the public domain,” she said.
“Right now it’s about how we go forward, recognizing that … we were on a path that wasn’t working,” she added. “But not blaming it on somebody else, but taking responsibility for it now.”
Pelosi noted that Trump cut out $700 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and was sure to mention that his reasoning behind that was some pretty fucked up thinking. Pelosi then encouraged Trump to follow the template Obama used to handle the Ebola outbreak.

Right now, Trump started a Twitter slap-fight with Obama’s Ebola Czar, because nothing else is going on in the world. Ronald Klain responded to the president to say that the deadly outbreak won’t be impressed by Trump’s tweets.
The #coronavirus won’t be impressed by your tweets — but only by a science-based well-coordinated response.
That’s how we saved lives and protected the country from Ebola — you were wrong about that one in 2014, you should try it now. https://t.co/TqkhBTfeXY

This is what happens when a portion of the electorate votes for a meme for president. Trump would be wise to heed Pelosi’s advice, but the raging narcissist is incapable of that. Enjoy the shade, though, Mr. Trump.
