Incitement
Fascist president in action. (Yes literal fascist. This kind of open demonization of the press is right out of The Big Book of How to Fascist.)
TRUMP on the New York Times: "They have phony sources. They don't even have sources. They write whatever they want … what they do is a tremendous disservice to this country. They are truly the enemy of the people, I'll tell you that. They are the enemy of the people." pic.twitter.com/1QXu8ljpiJ

One has to wonder why he’s defending Pelosi. He doesn’t just do that because he suddenly feels magnanimous.
He’s probably only doing it because someone else he doesn’t like said mean things about her – so he has to jump in to show how evil this other person he doesn’t like is. Then he’ll be back to insulting Pelosi the moment she makes him annoyed.
Ah, that explains this tweet
The backstory is here.

Having him support her is actually a good way to undermine Pelosi, and thus Democratic unity. Trump obviously isn’t smart enough to figure that out, but some of his handlers might be.
