Nancy Pelosi tore up the news cycle


Trump had a run of 20 tweets this morning, 19 of which were about Pelosi. (The other was a picture of flags.) He's attacking someone who keeps winning her San Francisco district with over 80% of the vote, instead of reinforcing the messages that his speechwriters crafted to promote his re-election.

It's sort of metaphysically picturesque to destroy a physical representation of a speech, and in doing so destroy the uptake of its content in other media.
