Donald Trump has slammed Nancy Pelosi over her 25th Amendment threat, and the whole situation is sending social media into a frenzy. On Thursday, Pelosi brought up the 25th Amendment during a press conference, and then stated that she’d be talking more about it on Friday. After the press conference, Pelosi spoke with Bloomberg TV and expressed doubt over Trump’s current state of mind.
“The president is, shall we say, in an altered state right now,” Pelosi said. “I don’t know how to answer for that behavior.” She then added, “There are those who say when you are on steroids or have Covid-19, there may be some impairment of judgment.” Trump has since responded, tweeting, “Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation. They don’t call her Crazy for nothing!” Scroll down to see what Twitter users are saying about all of this.

They don’t call her crazy at all. Only you do.

Trump is the master of projection. Nobody calls Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi as โCrazy Nancyโ other than Donald Trump. Itโs because he is very insecure about himself and thinks that the best defense is a good offense. Thatโs who he is and who he has been his entire life.

This reminds me of the time you stared directly into a solar eclipse, declared that you were the “chosen one” and then tried to buy Greenland.

She knows thereโs no way in hell the 25th would be invoked. That was directed at a party of one. Sheโs poking the bear when he is already angry. Say what you want, Pelosi knows the game and she knows when to play hardball. Let the rage tweets begin!

Hallelujah! Thank you Nancy Pelosi! We got your back. Every little bit helps to get rid of this calamity!

No. The plan is written in the constitution. Pence become president, and gets to pick a new vice president.

25th Amendment only works if the Vice President is in on it.

Pelosi drops a bomb on the Trump health coverup w/ “we’re going to be talking about the 25th Amendment.” Pence & the cabinet have been complicit for not removing an obviously insane dementia patient. The WR debacle & aftermath have put a spotlight on all of it- COVID & Dementia https://t.co/lAApJUbHxC

The 25th Amendment is worthless if we don’t have people in office who will use it when called for.

It should be changed so a majority concerned Americans can remove a President who is dangerously UNFIT.
A 25th Amendment Commission?

Iโm sure Trump will handle that with his usual grace and aplomb. https://t.co/tmf3NtinOa

Nancy Pelosi just told the press to show up tomorrow, because we will be talking about the 25th Amendment.

Pelosi is playing chess, while Trump falls asleep on his checker board.
Speaker Pelosi is right, we should start talking about the 25th Amendment, it was created for moments like this so if not now, when??
