Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for her general downplaying of President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical issues. Trump argued that Speaker Pelosi is actually “more cognitively challenged than Sleepy Crooked Joe” and a real threat to democracy.
“Crazy Nancy Pelosi is more cognitively confused than Sleepy Crooked Joe. She also has terminal symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS),” Trump said in X’s post.
“She’s a total nutcase who impeached me twice and lost, and now she’s walking around saying I’m a threat to democracy and saying next to nothing. No, that’s just Radical Left Democrat disinformation, and they’re good at it,” Trump continued, with Pelosi, 84, pointing out that “Crooked Joe would have everyone who will listen believe that he’s a great man mentally and in top form, but as we all know, he’s not.”

“She just continues to lie to the American people,” he said, hijacking a favorite rhetoric of the left to conclude that she is the real threat to democracy.
Crazy Nancy is a threat to democracy, a very sick threat. And remember, she took full responsibility for not doing her job on January 6th. That is her responsibility and I would like to thank her daughter for providing the tape of Nancy’s “confession”, but why did it take so long? It is a crime to hide evidence.
Trump’s comments come as Pelosi is carefully treading a line in the sand following Biden’s poor performance in the debate, which sparked panic among Democrats across the country. Instead of focusing on the concerns at hand, Pelosi has continued to deflect. Just days after the debate, Pelosi told CNN: Trade Union Status And he made the bizarre claim that it is Trump, not Biden, who may be suffering from dementia.
“By the way, there are medical experts who believe Trump has dementia, although the media for some reason doesn’t think so,” Pelosi said. divert This comes as concerns grow over Biden’s physical and mental stamina.
“His train of thought is disorganized. Not only that, he just lies. He doesn’t even know the truth. So if we’re talking about intellectual acuity, let’s be fair,” she said.

On the same day, Pelosi said on MSNBC internalIn it, she called Trump a “dangerous and evil person.”

The 84-year-old acknowledged that it was a “legitimate question” to ask whether Biden’s debate performance was an episode or a symptom, but softened the blow by insisting it was legitimate to ask “both candidates”.
Trump’s comments came shortly after Pelosi raged at a reporter who asked her position on Biden remaining in the race amid Democratic concerns, telling the reporter she wouldn’t debate “the fate of our country” in the hallways.
Asked if she was concerned about whether Biden would win the November election, Pelosi said she believed Biden could win, but then flared again, asking a reporter, “Am I speaking to you in English? I’m not going to make any statements about that in the hallway right now.”

“It’s up to the president to decide whether he wants to run,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday, arguing that Biden is “loved and respected and the American people want him to make that decision.”
“Whatever he decides, we will follow it,” she said of Democrats.
