Pelosi calls Trump ‘unhinged’ and reveals exchange with doctors at 2019 memorial for top psychiatrist

In early 2019, at a memorial service for a prominent psychiatrist, a succession of “doctors and other mental health professionals” told Nancy Pelosi they were “deeply concerned that there was something seriously wrong” with Donald Trump, “and that his mental and psychological health was in decline”.

“I’m not a doctor,” the former speaker writes in an eagerly awaited memoir, “but I did find his behaviors difficult to understand.”

    She’s got a point, but the same point could be made about her, so it’s hard to take her seriously.

    So, you agree with her statement because of its content, but then try to cast doubt on the same statement because of who said it?

      I’m not casting doubt on the statement, I’m saying people who care about hypocrisy wont listen to hypocrites.

      And people who don’t care about hypocrisy are voting trump.

      Don’t think of it as someone engaged in politics and informed of current events.

      Think of it as the ~1/3 of Americans that almost never vote. They’re the ones who need to be convinced, and they’re not going to listen to one 80 year old currently in office say another 80 year old is too old.

      If Pelosi believed that. She wouldn’t be in office.

      It’s like when Republicans go after each other, they might occasionally say something true. Doesn’t make it untrue, but also no one should be listening to them.
