President Donald Trump called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a “sick woman” and a “waste of time” after she called him “morbidly obese” in a television interview.
“I don’t respond to her. I think she’s a waste of time,” Trump told reporters when asked about Pelosi’s remarks.
Later on, when asked about the case involving his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, Trump suggested Pelosi has “mental problems.”
“Pelosi is a sick woman. She’s got a lot of problems, a lot of mental problems. We’re dealing with people that have to get their act together for the good of the country,” Trump said.
