In the six-page diatribe, Trump accused Pelosi of violating her oath of office by impeaching him and, in the process, “offending the Founding Fathers.”
The not-particularly-religious president also accused the Democratic speaker of being rude to churchgoing Americans.
“Even worse than offending the Founding Fathers, you are offending Americans of faith by continually saying ‘I pray for the President,’ when you know this statement is not true, unless it is meant in a negative sense,” Trump griped. “It is a terrible thing you are doing, but you will have to live with it, not I!”
As you might expect, the letter shocked many Twitter users, but the most appropriate reaction may have come from Christine Pelosi, the congresswoman’s daughter.
Whew this angry, nasty, lying screed by President Trump to Speaker Pelosi is really concerning. We’d better pray harder for his well-being. https://t.co/YBzaHz2CAY

Many Twitter users were feeling the younger Pelosi’s tweet.
Just be sure you don’t pray for him in … *checks memo* … “the negative sense”
Some real insight there to Trump. Who does he hang around that prays for people “in a negative sense”?

What does your mom do when she receives this BS?
Laugh hysterically?
Or go to work prepping for her next WIN in the house?

Let good Catholic Nancy Pelosi pray for the well being of Trump. I’m fully committed to enjoy myself when he finally croaks from eating too KFC, Big Macs, and Fish Filet sandwiches from McDs. pic.twitter.com/Hw3BLiSbCs

Parents would tell their children to read a letter like this several times, simmer down, and don’t send it. Yet America has elected this man who seems not to be able to control his impulses. #25thAmendmentNow

Thoughts and prayers or just prayers? I’m hopeful not to have to think about him for too much longer.
