Pelosi and Trump go a full year without speaking
By Cristina Marcos - 10/16/20 06:00 AM EDT
Friday marks a full year since Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and President Trump last spoke to each other.
The anniversary of sorts underscores the historic level of dysfunction and discord between two of the most powerful people in Washington.
Almost every occasion where Pelosi and Trump have crossed paths since Democrats won the House majority in 2018 has shown how much they can’t stand each other, let alone attempt to strike any legislative deals together like other past presidents and Speakers of opposing parties.
Their last extended conversation, during a sit-down meeting at the White House on Oct. 16, 2019, resulted in the two sides unable to agree on whether Trump called Pelosi a "third rate" or "third grade" politician and her telling reporters afterward that “we have to pray for his health.â€
Their relations have only worsened since then.

Did Trump celebrate the anniversary?
After Schifftyroo's Kangaroo Kourt hearings and Pelosiroo's Shampeachment and undermining Trump's anti-Covid-19 efforts in January and February, Pelosi should be too ashamed to speak to Trump face-to-face!
