Trump called on a number of aides in the Roosevelt Room to assert that he had remained calm and had not thrown a temper tantrum as Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer implied.
"You were very calm and very direct," replied Mercedes Schlapp, the White House director of strategic communications.
"Very calm," responded White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. "I've seen both. And this was not angry and ranting."
Three other White House officials Trump asked to bear witness echoed that sentiment.
Trump labeled Pelosi as crazy, said she had "lost it" and "has a lot of problems." He termed as nasty the House speaker's suggestion earlier in the day that the president's family needed to stage an intervention because of his behavior.
"I'm an extremely stable genius," Trump asserted at one point.
