Don't forget. Nancy Pelosi thinks "wealthy Americans" aren't "working people". Once again, proving how out of touch she is with actual working people.

And take a look at this deceptively scaled figure she presented to make Trump look bad.

Now lets take a look at a wider version of the same information. Oops!. Funny how she left that little part off, isn't it?

For a big part of Obama's terms, the Great Recession was beating down wages.

While she may not be entirely honest, it doesn't bode well for Trump that real wages is dropping so significantly under him.

Ooh a deceptive graph.

Maybe when she said Trump "has" put the interests of wealthy Americans over working people, what she really meant was "has not".

Totally plausible. Right?

For the most part Trump is BushObamaTrump. Pelosi has no standing to complain though.

Wealthy are people who make over $25 million a year and no, when you make that much money you are not working. A lot of that is hedge fund managers and people playing with money on Wall Street. Using other people's money so it they lose money it's not theirs but if they make money it is.

I dont make nearly $25M, and I work...a lot, so I guess by your definition, that puts me with the working people instead of the wealthy. And the tax cut I just got will pay for my children’s college. So Pelosi’s statement is a lie because my interests, as a working person, have been served.

BTW, I know quite a few hedge fund managers, and they are all hard working people. It’s not unusual for them to leave the office at 11PM.

Nancy Pelosi - Trump has put the interests of wealthy Americans over working people.

Well Nancy girl, you ought to love that considering that you are wealthy and love putting yourself first and are not "the working people".

Isn't she about 80? She needs to go. Her mind is kaput.

I'm sure Bernie Madoff was running his ass off trying to stay ahead of the crash.

Because everyone who works on Wall Street is just like Bernie Madoff, right?

What makes you think that isn't work? Ever try to be a quant? If it was so easy to do, anyone and everyone could do it. Einstein's Theory of Relativity was deduced via a lot of intellectual thought and mental manipulations. Was that also "not work," in your opinion?

FYI, hedge fund managers and "people playing with money on Wall Street" shepherd the following:

Millions of working and retiree Americans have $27 trillion worth of investments in their pensions (public and private) and/or retirement accounts.

Pie chart included:

US workers/retirees have $27 trillion worth of investments in their pension/retirement accounts

That's a HELL of a lot of work.

It is truly stunning how uninformed and narrow-minded some people are.
