Trump’s letter to Pelosi is like his tweets put to letterhead. He makes his regular false claims (the Electoral College result;— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) December 17, 2019
cost of the Mueller probe; energy production; etc.), uses exclamation marks, and accuses Pelosi of lying about praying for him. https://t.co/okAZgOw2xc
I bet trump really thought he had a genius light bulb moment when he came up with the idea to write the speaker a letter. Good work, President Crayons!— Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) December 17, 2019

Completely normal and well-adjusted correspondence to Congress from the duly elected head of Article II, just as the Founders envisioned these exchanges. https://t.co/1XM8aSEHoB pic.twitter.com/qdCrk4qfKj— Cristian Farias (@cristianafarias) December 17, 2019
This is not a letter authored by someone of sound mind or in full command of his mental faculties. The implications of that are obviously immense and quite scary but how long can we really continue to ignore it? https://t.co/eyjmA3hCK9— Susan Hennessey (@Susan_Hennessey) December 17, 2019
Trump’s deranged, unhinged letter makes a pretty compelling case that the President is unfit for office.— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) December 17, 2019
The sign-off tells the entire story.— The Hoarse Whisperer (@HoarseWisperer) December 17, 2019
Trump knows that he is 24 hours away from infamy. He is on the train tracks of history with the locomotive of impeachment bearing down.
This letter is so very Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
My lord, they’ll put this in text books. pic.twitter.com/puppUrEyDk
And,
Whew this angry, nasty, lying screed by President Trump to Speaker Pelosi is really concerning. We’d better pray harder for his well-being. https://t.co/YBzaHz2CAY— Christine Pelosi (@sfpelosi) December 17, 2019
In "normal" times, this letter would be Exhibit A for a 25th Amendment removal of malignant moron Donald "Impeachable Me" Trump. As we're not in not "normal" times, at least it will be fodder for tonight's late night comedy shows. Sic transit gloria, America.
See post below.
BONUS: Jennifer Rubin --
What is most striking is the spectacle of the letter itself — a president so unhinged as to issue such an harangue; a White House entirely unable to stop him; a party so subservient to him that it would not trigger a search for a new nominee; a right-wing media bubble that will herald Trump for being Trump and excoriate Democrats for driving the president to this point; and a mainstream media not quite able to address a public temper-tantrum (resorting instead to euphemisms such as “scorching,” “searing,” etc.)...
