President Trump on Thursday blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as “totally incompetent” after she criticized his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

“She is totally incompetent & controlled by the Radical Left, a weak and pathetic puppet. Come back to Washington and do your job!,” Trump said about the California Democrat in a tweet.

He also quoted Fox News’ Sean Hannity’s comments about Pelosi from his show Wednesday night.

“Crazy ‘Nancy Pelosi, you are a weak person. You are a poor leader. You are the reason America hates career politicians, like yourself,'” Trump wrote on Twitter, quoting Hannity.

The president also accused Democrats of playing politics with the Paycheck Protection Program, part of the Small Business Administration’s rescue plan for ailing workers and businesses.

“Democrats are blocking additional funding for the popular Paycheck Protection Program. They are killing American small businesses. Stop playing politics Dems! Support Refilling PPP NOW – it is out of funds!,” he tweeted.

The SBA said Thursday the $349 billion fund is depleted and it can no longer process applications.

Pelosi said the holdup is because state and local governments and hospitals have to be included in the rescue plan.

“We have been very clear about state and local government needs and the role that it plays in fighting the virus. The fact that there is revenue loss, as well as additional costs for the fight against the virus, the pandemic necessitates that we allocate more resources to state and local government,” Pelosi said later Thursday. “That is an important priority for us and for the

country, and so in the negotiations that’s a very important piece.”

“We hope that the administration will recognize those needs and not deprive state and local as well as hospitals, as well as small businesses, have every opportunity to meet the needs of the people we serve,” she continued.

Pelosi has faulted Trump for his response to the coronavirus outbreak and for his decision Tuesday to halt payments to the World Health Organization until his administration can review whether the agency mishandled early reporting on the pandemic.

She said the United Nations agency is an important asset in the global fight against the coronavirus and called Trump’s actions those of a “weak person, a poor leader, takes no responsibility. A weak person blames others.”
