Trump Just Launched Panicked Twitter Attack Against Pelosi, ‘She’s Tearing the United States Apart’

Donald Trump continued to rail against Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer after abruptly storming out of their planned infrastructure meeting today.

“So sad that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer will never be able to see or understand the great promise of our Country,” he tweeted following his big press conference, at which he also decried the “witch hunt.”

And if his comments about not working with Congress while they investigate him weren’t clear enough, he said on Twitter, “You can’t investigate and legislate simultaneously – it just doesn’t work that way. You can’t go down two tracks at the same time.”

These tweets followed a speech Trump gave in the Rose Garden. Trump pulled together the hastily organized press conference after a three-minute meeting between Pelosi and Schumer. The president said that Democrats’ continued insistence on investigating him and his administration after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report is killing infrastructure plans.

“I walked into the room and I told Sen. Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, I want to do infrastructure. I want to do it more than you want to do it. I’d be really good at that. That’s what I do,” Trump said. “But you know what? You can’t do it under these circumstances — so get these phony investigations over with.”
