Pelosi Delivers Harsh Trump Rebuke For Attack On Widow Dingell

President Donald Trump is continuing to respond to the impeachment proceedings against him by lashing out harshly. This past Wednesday night, as the House took their votes making impeachment official, Trump led a rally in Michigan, where he delivered an around two-hour barrage of rambling remarks including the cruel suggestion that the late Michigan Democratic Congressman John Dingell could be in hell. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has now publicly condemned that egregious display.

Carrying his extremism to a new level, Trump found a new way to completely disembark into apocalyptic wannabe dictatorship when faced with even the slightest duly proceeding pressure.

Pelosi commented:

‘Let us pray. Let us pray for the president. What the president misunderstands is that cruelty is not wit. Just because he gets a laugh for saying the cruel things that he says doesn’t mean he’s funny. It’s not funny at all. It’s very sad… The president clearly is insecure when it comes to statespersons, whether it was John McCain — think of what he said about John McCain and his supporters just overlooked that. John McCain. Now John Dingell.’

It is dangerous for an insecure egomanic like Trump to be working out his personal issues while the United States and its relationships with global allies hang in the balance. Pelosi has previously used a similar argument, when she noted that Trump’s obsession with constructing a wall along the southern U.S. border seemed like a “manhood thing” for him.

Trump based his attacks on the Dingells on the fact that John’s wife, the currently serving Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, supported impeachment despite Trump’s order for flags at half mast after her husband passed away. In other words: he would like to be repaid for his participation in the rituals of basic dignity associated with the office he holds.

At the rally, he railed, discussing his order for the flags to be lowered:

‘She calls me up: ‘It’s the nicest thing that’s ever happened. Thank you so much. John would be so thrilled. He’s looking down. He’d be so thrilled. Thank you so much, sir.’ I said, ‘That’s OK, don’t worry about it.’ Maybe he’s looking up, I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe. But let’s assume he’s looking down.’

Debbie Dingell has already publicly responded to the president’s attack. It’s actually similar to complaints that he’s publicly lodged about the McCains. After the late Arizona Republican Senator John McCain’s funeral, Trump whined at a rally that he’d never gotten a thank you for the basic step of approving state funeral arrangements.

In a Twitter post that’s gotten almost a quarter of a million likes and counting, Debbie commented:

‘Mr. President, let’s set politics aside. My husband earned all his accolades after a lifetime of service. I’m preparing for the first holiday season without the man I love. You brought me down in a way you can never imagine and your hurtful words just made my healing much harder.’

There’s no indication that he cares or will stop his personal attacks anytime soon as the impeachment pressure continues. Now that he’s been impeached, Congress is turning to a trial, which Democrats are demanding be fair.
