President Trump took to Twitter to denounce his arch-liberal nemesis, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, calling her “Nervous Nancy” and “a Disgrace” after Pelosi stated she wanted to see the President sent to jail. As The Hill reports:
“Nervous Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace to herself and her family for having made such a disgusting statement, especially since I was with foreign leaders overseas,” Trump tweeted aboard Air Force One while flying back from a weeklong trip to the United Kingdom, France and Ireland.
“There is no evidence for such a thing to have been said. Nervous Nancy & Dems are getting Zero work done in Congress, and have no intention of doing anything other than going on a fishing expedition to see if they can find anything on me – both illegal & unprecedented in U.S. history,” Trump added.

Despite Trump’s insistence that politics should stop at the water’s edge, his criticism of Pelosi largely mirrored comments he made in a Fox News interview on Thursday at the Normandy American Cemetery in France before a D-Day commemoration.Trump called Pelosi a “nasty, vindictive, horrible person” for saying he should be jailed.
The remarks come on the heels of an increasing number of desperate calls from Democrats to have the President impeached.
