Nancy Pelosi detailed how medical professionals expressed concern to her regarding then-President Donald Trump’s mental health during her time as Speaker of the House, according to her new memoir. A copy of The Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House, to be published next week, was obtained by The Guardian.

At a 2019 memorial service for psychiatrist Dr David Hamburg, doctors and other mental health professionals shared their deep concern “that there was something seriously wrong” with Trump and that “his mental and psychological health was in decline,” Pelosi detailed in the book. Pelosi said she found Trump’s behavior “difficult to understand.”

The former speaker frequently clashed with Trump during her second stint in the top job in the lower chamber. She was speaker between 2007 and 2011 and between 2019 and 2023, which coincided with the latter half of Trump’s presidency and the beginning of President Joe Biden’s time in the White House. Trump is now the Republican presidential nominee yet again, for the third straight election cycle. The 78-year-old former president is the oldest-ever candidate for the office.

His often bizarre behavior has come under increasing scrutiny following his two impeachments, including for the Capitol riot, his 34 felony convictions, the orders for him to pay hundreds of millions in damages in several civil cases, including one in which he was found liable for sexual abuse, his comments that he would spend day one of his next term as a “dictator, and his questioning of Vice President Kamala Harris’s racial identity during an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists on Wednesday.

3. He's always been a Sociopath with Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Who uses insults and lies on anyone who doesn't praise him. He's completely shameless and laughably vain. He's a Confidence Man born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

I don't see a "decline" per se.

There wasn't much Nancy could do about it - except deal.

4. Tomorrow's episode of the podcast "Shrinking Trump" should be interesting.

Every Friday, the two doctors and one guest provide updates on *Rump’s accelerating decline.

5. His mental health has been in question for years.

One of the books to discuss this in extensive detail is Bandy X. Lee's "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump", with analyses by 37 mental health professionals of Trump. If you're a Kindle Unlimited member, you can read this for free. I have both the ebook and the audio book. To read and hear the evaluations of Trump is very enlightening.
