President Donald Trump took a swipe at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday with a tweet that claimed Pelosi’s “teeth were falling out of her mouth.”
The comment was made as part of a retweet from Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., who showed a clip of Pelosi explaining why she decided not to make bribery one of the articles of impeachment of Trump last week.
“This was a decision that was recommended by working together with our committee chairs, our attorneys and the rest,” the the California Democrat said.
Question: "You yourself accused [Trump] of bribery. Why did you decide not to make bribery one of the articles of impeachment."

Trump retweeted Meadows’ statement and added: “Because Nancy’s teeth were falling out of her mouth, and she didn’t have time to think!”

Spokespeople for Pelosi did not immediately offer a comment about the president’s tweet Sunday night.
The president’s tweet is just the latest in a series of increasingly personal attacks he has aimed at the Speaker in recent weeks amid a number of public confrontations between the rival politicians.
