Trump Blasts 'Crazy' Pelosi After Calling For 'Respect' In His Christmas Message
President Donald Trump in his Christmas message Wednesday urged Americans to strive to “foster a culture of deeper understanding and respect, traits that exemplify the teachings of Christ.”
Hours later he bashed “crazy” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over the “scam” impeachment. “Why should Crazy Nancy Pelosi ... be allowed to Impeach the President of the United States?” he angrily tweeted.
Why should Crazy Nancy Pelosi, just because she has a slight majority in the House, be allowed to Impeach the President of the United States? Got ZERO Republican votes, there was no crime, the call with Ukraine was perfect, with “no pressure.” She said it must be “bipartisan...

...& overwhelming,” but this Scam Impeachment was neither. Also, very unfair with no Due Process, proper representation, or witnesses. Now Pelosi is demanding everything the Republicans weren’t allowed to have in the House. Dems want to run majority Republican Senate. Hypocrites!

Trump’s lightning-fast turnaround was not that surprising.
Despite his call for Christ-like “respect,” Trump has likely set the record for the number of insulting nicknames he has hurled at foes, including “Sleazebag” former FBI Director James Comey, “Shifty” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), “Low IQ” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), “Crooked Hillary” Clinton, “Little Rocket Man” Kim Jong Un, “Lyin’” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), “Dumbo” Randolph Alles (former head of the Secret Service), “Fat Jerry” Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), “Head Clown” Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), “Mr. Magoo” former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and “Dummy” former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) — to name just a fraction.
Twitter critics couldn’t help pointing out the contrast between his holiday message and insulting Pelosi — and pointing out some flaws in his impeachment argument.

Note that this is the same #Trump who earlier today said:
“…Together, we must strive to foster a culture of deeper understanding and respect — traits that exemplify the teachings of Christ.”

.#Trump this morning:
“…Together, we must strive to foster a culture of deeper understanding and respect — traits that exemplify the teachings of Christ.”
Somewhere in the teachings of Christ:
"Bad-mouth your opponents by calling them names and act like a nasty douchebag"...— Andy Ostroy (@AndyOstroy) December 26, 2019
Will someone close to you please sit you down and explain why it’s offensive and insulting to put the word ‘crazy’ in front of someone just because you disagree with them

If only incessant bitching made you innocent.

Ooo! Ooo! I know this!
Because the President of the United States committed high crimes and misdemeanors, colluded with foreign governments to sell out his own country for personal gain, repeatedly lied and obstructed justice. #Impeached45 #IMPOTUS— Trish Palmer (@TrishPalmerYVR) December 26, 2019
Dude. Come on. It's Christmas. You know, peace on earth, goodwill toward men and all that? Put the phone down and go be with your family. The impeachment and Pelosi will still be there tomorrow, I promise.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misidentified Schumer as a member of the House of Representatives. He is a senator.
