President Trump ripped Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in an interview set to air this weekend, saying she is “very bad for our country.”
Pelosi has been Trump’s top foil since taking the Speaker’s gavel this year, and the two were locked in a stalemate for weeks over Trump's demand for border wall funding amid the 35-day partial government shutdown.
"I think that she was very rigid — which I would expect — but I think she's very bad for our country," Trump told CBS News in an interview excerpt released Friday. Trump’s full remarks are set to air Sunday morning before the Super Bowl.
The longtime Democratic leader refused to give in to Trump's demand for more than $5 billion in funding for a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, the primary sticking point in negotiations during the five-week government shutdown that ended last Friday.
