She\u2019s got a lot of problems, a lot of mental problems,\u201d Trump told reporters on Capitol Hill after attending a lunch with Senate Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Trump made the remark during a lengthy answer about the Justice Department\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/05\/07\/justice-department-dropping-case-against-michael-flynn\/\">moving to drop its prosecution<\/a>\u00a0of former national security adviser Mike Flynn.<\/p>\n<p>Trump listed accomplishments that he said he was able to accomplish despite \u201can illegal witch hunt\u201d into claims his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re dealing with people that have to get their act together for the good of the country,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the gaggle with reporters, Trump declined to directly respond to Pelosi saying Monday night on CNN that Trump should not be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/05\/18\/trump-says-hes-been-taking-hydroxychloroquine-for-weeks\/\">taking the drug hydroxychloroquine<\/a>\u00a0to protect\u00a0against contracting the coronavirus because he is \u201cmorbidly obese.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t respond to her.

Trump, meanwhile, has smarted over House Democrats impeaching him last year for pressuring Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who held a cushy board job at a Ukrainian energy firm.<\/p>\n<p>Trump told The Post in an Oval Office interview this month that he objected to the tenor of Democrats on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a good working environment. And it\u2019s caused by them, it\u2019s not caused by me, it\u2019s caused by them,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI could totally do the impeachment hoax, you know, as an example \u2014 the impeachment hoax.
