Earlier this month when Trump directed his administration's negotiators to halt COVID-19 stimulus talks with Democrats until the elections, Pelosi took another jibe at the Republican leader and said, 'once again, he has shown his true colours.' In a statement, she openly accused Trump of putting himself first at the expense of the country. The president is unwilling to crush the virus, as is required by the Heroes Act, she added.

Pelosi said, "Donald Trump shows his contempt for science, his disdain for our heroes – in health care, first responders, sanitation, transportation, food workers, teachers, and others – and he refuses to put money in workers’ pockets unless his name is printed on the check. At the same time, the President is abandoning meeting the needs of our children as they adjust to learning in-person, virtual, or hybrid. Instead, Trump is wedded to his $150 billion tax cut for the wealthiest people in America from the CARES Act, while he refuses to give real help to poor children, the unemployed and America’s hard-working families."
