President Trump said in a Sunday tweetstorm that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has lost control of her party, becoming a “Radical Democrat” in order to appease the Democratic Party’s far left.
“Nancy Pelosi has behaved so irrationally & has gone so far to the left that she has now officially become a Radical Democrat,” Mr. Trump said. “She is so petrified of the ’lefties’ in her party that she has lost control … And by the way, clean up the streets in San Francisco, they are disgusting!”
His tweet came after Mrs. Pelosi rejected his Saturday border-security and immigration deal, calling his proposals a “non-starter” that would likely fail in the House.
Mr. Trump noted that Democrats, including Mrs. Pelosi, turned down his offer even before he made his televised speech, saying that they “don’t see crime & drugs, they only see 2020 — which they are not going to win.”

No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer. It is a 3 year extension of DACA. Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else. Likewise there will be no big push to remove the 11,000,000 plus people who are here illegally-but be careful Nancy!

Nancy Pelosi and some of the Democrats turned down my offer yesterday before I even got up to speak. They don’t see crime & drugs, they only see 2020 - which they are not going to win. Best economy! They should do the right thing for the Country & allow people to go back to work.
