Earlier today House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered President Trump and his administration harsh and false criticism for their handling of the coronavirus.
"Hopefully we can make up for the loss of time...and not be using scare tactics about people coming back to our country."
Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the Trump administration's response against coronavirus is "late—too late—anemic." https://t.co/GfPH6SyIMF pic.twitter.com/H6QZATNyeD— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) February 26, 2020
Speaking to reporters from the White House briefing room Wednesday evening, President Trump slammed Pelosi for trying to score political points during a public health emergency.
"I think Speaker Pelosi is incompetent. She lost the Congress once, I think she's going to lose it again," Trump said. "I think she's incompetent and I think she's not thinking about the country. Instead of making a statement like that, where I've been beating her routinely, at everything, instead of making a statement like that she should be saying, 'We have to work together because we have a big problem, potentially,' and maybe it's going to be a very little problem, I hope that it's a very little problem, but we have to work together. Instead she wants to do the same thing as crying Chuck Schumer...it's so bad for the country."
"She's trying to create a panic and there's no reason to panic," he continued. "All they're trying to do is get a political advantage, This isn't about political advantage. We're all trying to do the right thing."
Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence has been placed in charge of a new coronavirus task force and will relay information from all federal agencies working on the issue to the American people and President Trump.

Sbe’s powerful stupid! The panic was already there.
It’s the world we live in now. Good luck thinking mere words are going to have any impact on those who are probably delighted to see the US stock markets dropping like crazy and the world economies suffering.
Our magnificent warrior President speaks Truth
Pelosi is incompetent, if you want to see panic, check out Doomberg’s latest TV ad.
“I think Speaker Pelosi is incompetent.“
Me too.
The demonRats prove, over and over, they’re enemies of the Republic.
In a sane world, what the Democrats are doing would make a great commercial.
“...The demonRats prove, over and over, they’re enemies of the Republic....”
They’re AINOs..American In Name Only.
They’re outright communist traitors to the Republic and should be dealt with accordingly.
It isn’t a manufactured crisis because there is clearly a cause for concern, but the politicization of it is manufactured, which is clearly what they are doing on the Left.
They have nothing else-nothing-and this is one where they can, with no risk, take a stand at the opposite end of the spectrum no matter how expensive or outrageous their stance is, and it sets them up in case it becomes worse so they can use it as a political cudgel.
Trump has to deal with real finances and can pledge $2-5 Billion, and they can propose $10-20 billion, and if nothing ever comes of it, for them, no harm no foul.
But if it does get worse, they have this in their back pocket where they can scream “WE TOLD YOU! AMERICANS ARE DYING BECAUSE YOU DIDN”T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO PROTECT THEM!”
I think that is ALL that this is. Politicizing it to create a negative atmosphere and to impart a possibly never realized political advantage.
“...panic already there...”
yes - aided and abetted by Rodentstein’s sister at the CDC “reporting” to the New York Times for the express purpose of creating panic to harm our President.
It won’t work!
The vile, demonic Botoxian and it’s band of evil flying monkeys have done a good job by the looks of the market over the past few days. The insane POSs think they’ve found a way to bring down the POTUS, but all it’s doing is reinforcing his supporters’ resolve even more.
Pelosi perhaps the third most powerful person in the US has made herself irrelevant, mere background noise in the left’s echo chamber.
Her lack of leadership has allowed the Democrats to drift in a civil war with each other. Her tin ear has made any comments she makes to go unheard.
In a sane world she would be forced to step down, but if one thing is clear today, the Democrat party is insane. They followed the unicorn into the desert and they have lost their way. The good news for them is that the media has went with them into the desert and continues to tell them they are all doing well and there is nothing to worry about and come November they will have the votes to remove the evil Orange Man.
No one is surprised that the Democrats are using the Coronavirus to attack the President, that is all they have left...attack, attack, attack!
She has to live with herself forever..which hopefully is much longer.
I don’t agree they are all communist. Greedy corrupt self serving American haters for sure.
Go Donald. No more GWB wouldn’t be presidential to comment.
He fights for all of the country , including those who don’t understand how better he has made it than their leaders in the Dem party ,and Wonder Boy Barry O and his ilk....
Any sort of panic is much more dangerous than the virus.
Anybody see Nancy yesterday with her Ash Wednsday ashes on her forehead? She’s so devout.
Yet even so, Pres. Trump also said if they want to do $8 billion he’d listen.
Quote:
“We’re requesting $2.5 [billion]. Some Republicans would like us to get $4 [billion], and some Democrats would like us to get $8.5 [billion], and we’ll be satisfied whatever it is.”
The democrats are trapped.
Trump can then spend it to “protect the country”.
More Wall? More for CBP? More for ICE?
