Pelosi: Trump Should Unify Our Country, Not Fuel The Flame Of Division

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on ABC This Week
During an appearance on ABC News’ This Week, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was asked by George Stephanopoulos what President Donald Trump should be doing during the ongoing riots and protests over the killing of George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis. “The president of the United States should bring dignity to the office that he serves,” said Pelosi. “He should be a unifying force in our country.” “We have seen that with democratic and republican presidents all along. They have seen their responsibility to be the president of the United States, to unify our country, and not to fuel the flame, not to fuel the flame. “I think to take his bait time and time again is just a gift to him because he always wants to divert attention from what the cause of the response was.”

Team Trump “Surprised” At The Scope Of The Presidency

Apparently, folks in the Trump camp weren’t quite informed as to the “scope” of the presidency?

From The Week:

Donald Trump will be getting more help from the White House during the next several months than incoming presidents typically receive, The Wall Street Journal reports.

People with knowledge of Trump’s meeting on Thursday with President Obama told the Journal Obama realized that Trump, who has no experience in government or the military, will need more guidance, and he will spend more time with him than previously expected.

As Obama explained the duties that come along with running the country, “Trump seemed surprised by the scope,” the Journal reports, and Trump’s aides were also “unaware that the entire presidential staff working in the West Wing had to be replaced at the end of Mr. Obama’s term.”

What Success Looks Like

This is what a successful presidency looks like:

• Our dependence on foreign oil is at a 20-year low — and declining
• Emissions have fallen to their lowest levels in 20 years
• Domestic auto production is at a 12-year high
• Health insurance costs are increasing at the slowest rate since the 1960s

Does anyone have a problem with any of that?

I didn’t think so…
