Trump responds to Pelosi's 'scared puppy' jab with rant on husband's 'weird story': 'Sick & demented'

Former President Donald Trump blasted former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and the "very weird story" surrounding her husband after she said Trump looked scared ahead of his arraignment in federal court Thursday.

"I purposely didn’t comment on Nancy Pelosi’s very weird story concerning her husband, but now I can because she said something about me, with glee, that was really quite vicious," Trump commented on his Truth Social website.

Pelosi on Friday said Trump looked like a "scared puppy" as he arrived at a D.C. courthouse for his arraignment on four charges related to alleged 2020 election interference.

Trump, the current 2024 GOP front-runner, pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

"I saw a scared puppy," Pelosi said on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."

"I didn’t see any bravado or confidence or anything like that," she added. "He knows the truth that he lost the election, and now he’s got to face the music."

Trump fired back, writing that the "millions" of people watching him on television enter the courtroom "didn’t see that."

"I wasn’t ‘scared,’" he said." Nevertheless, how mean a thing to say! She is a Wicked Witch whose husbands journey from hell starts and finishes with her. She is a sick & demented psycho who will someday live in HELL!"

Pelosi’s husband Paul was allegedly attacked during a home invasion in San Francisco on Oct. 28. The alleged attacker, David DePape, 42, faces state charges of attempted murder and elder abuse and federal charges for kidnapping after he allegedly broke into the Pelosi home and assaulted Paul with a hammer.

DePape will have a chance to state his case during a hearing Wednesday in San Francisco, with a federal trial set to begin Nov. 13.

Pelosi’s husband previously made headlines in May 2022 when he was arrested for causing a crash while driving drunk. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to serving five days in jail, followed by three years of probation.

The alleged attack sparked a number of right-wing conspiracy theories that ultimately hushed once video and audio evidence from the incident was released by a court in February.

Pelosi’s office declined to respond to Trump's comments when reached by Fox News Digital on Sunday.

Angus Cloud's mother denies 'Euphoria' star died by suicide: 'He did not intend to check out of this world'

Just one week after Angus Cloud tragically died, questions remain regarding the "Euphoria" actor's passing, prompting speculation on social media.

His mother, Lisa Cloud, is now denying any suggestion that her son took his own life, breaking her silence in a post to Facebook.

"Friends, I want you all to know I appreciate your love for my family at this shattered time. I also want you to know that although my son was in deep grief about his father’s untimely death from mesothelioma, his last day was a joyful one. He was reorganizing his room and placing items around the house with intent to stay a while in the home he loved," she wrote of Cloud, 25.

"He spoke of his intent to help provide for his sisters at college, and also help his mom emotionally and financially. He did not intend to end his life. When we hugged goodnight we said how much we loved each other and he said he would see me in the morning."

"I don't know if or what he may have put in his body after that. I only know that he put his head on the desk where he was working on arts project's [sic], fell asleep and didn't wake up. We may find out that he overdosed accidentally and tragically, but it’s abundantly clear that he did not intend to check out of this world," she added.

"Social media posts have suggested his death was intentional. I want you to know that is not the case. To honor his memory, please make random acts of kindness part of your daily life," she concluded.

"The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend," the family's statement continued. "Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence."

Cloud was best known for his role as Fezco, an endearing dropout turned drug dealer in HBO's "Euphoria," which has aired two seasons. 

Cloud's mother says that his work on the show "became a lightning rod for his generation and opened up a conversation about compassion, loyalty, acceptance and love."

A cause of death has not been disclosed at this time.
