Pelosi Blames Stock Market Fall on Trump Inability to Address Coronavirus
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blamed President Trump for the drop in the stock market citing his inability to address the coronavirus.
Pelosi was attending the Women Who Empower Summit at Northeastern University in Boston where she said, “I think that what is happening there is a reflection of lack of confidence,” referring to the president’s handling of the coronavirus.
Pelosi added the White House needs to be more in line with government health experts and the president needs to stop the “name-calling.”

Democrats are putting together their own plan to deal with the impact of the coronavirus but Pelosi is not sure if it’s going to be ready for a vote soon.
President Trump fired back at Pelosi for not promptly acting on her plan.
Nancy Pelosi just said, “I don’t know if we can be ready this week.” In other words, it’s off to vacation for the Do Nothing Democrats. That’s been the story with them for 1 1/2 years!
