President Donald Trump lashed out Sunday night at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Twitter following a CBS “60 Minutes” interview during which she recounted standing up to him and reiterated her opinion that he is unfit for office and knows it.
“There’s nobody in the country who knows better that he should not be president of the United States than Donald Trump,” Pelosi told CBS’s Lesley Stahl in a roughly 14-minute segment that aired Sunday.

President Donald Trump began Monday morning on Twitter offering a lesson on Branding 101.
The test case: “If I were Boeing.”
Just weeks ago, as Boeing came under intense scrutiny for the safety of its 737 Max 8 planes, Trump asserted that, “Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT.”
