Speaking to reporters today, President Trump said it was “very illegal” for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to rip up a copy of his State of the Union speech.
“A Terrible Thing”
“I thought it was a terrible thing when she ripped up the speech,” the President said.
“First of all, it’s an official document. You’re not allowed. It’s illegal what she did. She broke the law. But I haven’t been asked the question other than a lot of people that viewed it, they couldn’t believe that she did it.”
President Trump added Pelosi’s actions were “disrespectful” to Congress and the country at whole.
“I got very high marks on the speech and I didn’t know she did it until I was walking out and some of the congressmen and women were saying can you believe what she did? But I didn’t know she did it,” he added.
“I think there’s a lot of evil on that side,” the President continued. “They’ve gone crazy, they’ve gone totally crazy, it’s too bad! I’ve gotten tremendous amounts done, more than anybody’s gotten done in 3 years, by far. They’re not constructive people.”
