Nancy Pelosi Takes Donald Trumps Insult, Fires It Right Back At Him
The president is a master at projecting, Pelosi told CNNs Jake Tapper after Trump claimed shed had a nervous fit.
When he calls somebody else nervous, hes the nervous one, she said.
Pelosi also rejected Trumps belief that she didnt actually pray for him, despite what she had earlier stated.
When he suspects that somebody is not praying, hes probably not praying, she said. But I do pray for him because he is the president of the United States and I pray that God will open his heart to meeting the needs of people in our country. Pelosi said she also prayed for Trumps health, safety and family.
It doesnt bother me what he thinks about that, she concluded. All the more reason to pray for him.

(82,849 posts)Maybe now the media will feel like they have permission to call Trump's projection tweets projection? His little twit fits are obviously meant to deflect or demean, and very often reveal what he's feeling as he insults others. But the media can't seem to bring themselves to state the obvious. It took them a hell of a long time to call Trump's lies as lies and even now some reporters can't quite tell it like it is. I hope Pelosi's calling out his projection starts a similar trend in media reporting.
Media folks: Just because Trump tweets something out, doesn't make it true or call it into existence. Sometimes, quite often in fact, Trump tweets things that are complete and utter bullshit to try to cover for his own failings. It's okay to report that when you see it.

(63,221 posts)More projection. He can't believe she is praying for him because he can't imagine doing anything for the benefit of anyone but himself. The concept is completely foreign to him.
Take him down, Nancy! You are spectacular!

(34,999 posts)Projection aside, he STILL does not comprehend that local issues are handled by local officials, and not their representatives in the US Congress. He's such a goddamn moron.
And, yes. He IS a master at projection. Just like the rest of the GOP. I'm glad people are finally pointing that out.
