(ProsperNews.net) – Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed on MSNBC that former President Donald Trump is experiencing cognitive decline, suggesting that he may not be able to complete a four-year presidential term if elected. Pelosi warned that voters considering a vote for Trump “have to know that he can’t last as president for four years with his brain deteriorating at the rate that it is.” She went further, implying that they may end up with Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance in the Oval Office, calling that possibility “a horrible thing for our country” Pelosi’s comments follow recent remarks made by Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania, where he joked about media scrutiny, saying, “To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news, and I don’t mind that so much.” Trump was shot in the ear earlier this year during a speech but recovered quickly. Pelosi suggested that such comments indicate “cognitive degeneration,” and also referenced Trump’s prior, bizarre musings about whether he would rather face electrocution or be eaten by sharks, adding, “Something’s very wrong there.”
In a swift response, Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back, stating to Fox News Digital, “The only thing deteriorating is Nancy Pelosi, a decrepit washed-up corrupt politician whom America can no longer stand.” Leavitt added that Pelosi “should go back to the City of San Francisco, which she has totally destroyed, and never return.”
Pelosi, who has been a fixture in Congress since 1987, has often been one of Trump’s most vocal critics.
