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.”
Pelosi’s book, The Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House, will be published next week. The Guardian obtained a copy.
Buncha whataboutism in the comments…
I think both can be true.
Donald Trump can be in serious mental decline, while the democratic establishment has shown that its willing to boldly lie to the American people (not that that’s unique to them in the least.)
You don’t know what whataboutism is right?
Whataboutism is a defense to criticism. You can criticize two things at one time. It doesn’t mean you disagree with the first point.
It’s a long time tool of the Kremlin to shoo away criticism by saying “what about XYZ who did worse/same thing” instead of answering the criticism.
So is accusing people of doing things they didn’t do.
