President Trump on Wednesday ripped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over their criticism of his response to the coronavirus threat — charging that they were playing politics while he was trying to protect the American people.

“I think Speaker Pelosi is incompetent. I think she’s not thinking about the country,” he said when asked about the California Democrat’s statement that Trump didn’t know what he was doing in his response to the threat.

“Instead of making a statement like that where I’ve been beating her routinely at everything, instead of making a statement like that, she should be saying, ‘We have to work together because we have a big problem potentially’ and maybe it’s going to be a very little problem,” Trump said at the White House during a press briefing on the administration’s response to the worldwide virus.

“I hope that it’s going to be a very little problem, but we have to work together. Instead she wants to do the same thing with ‘Crying’ Chuck Schumer,” he said.

The New York senator had panned the administration’s request for $2.5 billion to combat the virus, saying it wasn’t enough, and urged Congress to spend $8.5 billion.

“He goes out and says, ‘The president only asks for $2.5 million. He should have $8.5 billion.’ This is the first time I’ve ever been told ‘We should take more,’ usually it’s ‘We have to take less,’” the president said.

“He shouldn’t be making statements like that because it’s so bad for the country, and Nancy Pelosi, she should go back to her district [and get it] cleaned it up. I’m just saying, we should all be working together. She’s trying to create a panic and there’s no reason to panic because we have done so good,” he asserted.

“All they’re trying to do is get a political advantage. This isn’t about political advantage, we’re all trying to do the right thing. They shouldn’t be saying ‘This is terrible, President Trump isn’t asking for enough money.’ How stupid a thing to say?”

Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, responded to Trump’s claims by retweeting a video the House speaker originally posted Monday of her making fortune cookies in San Fransisco with the message, “United We Stand.”

“This is what competent leadership looks like,” Hammill tweeted. “The Speaker on Monday visited San Francisco’s Chinatown, the beautiful heart of her district, to urge calm and support local businesses. Ridiculous to suggest her actions have caused panic.”

“This is not political. Our proposal was put together after hearing from public health experts and looking at historical precedents, like in 2009 when Congress appropriated over $7B to fight the H1N1 flu,” Schumer said in a statement to The Post. “My message to the president is simple: It was incompetent and dangerous to propose cuts to CDC funding or simply trust other governments (like China) to handle this. Simply incompetent.”
