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

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.”

    but if Pelosi’s book can get this into a headline, it’s certainly a valid hit on that front.

    But of the people who haven’t decided to vote, how many would hear of this?

    How many are reading political articles but can’t decide who to vote for?

    This ain’t outreach, it’s inreach. Which isn’t even a word, because it’s a pointless endeavor

      It’s The Guardian. It’s sitting right there on the cover of the US edition right below their live politics ticker currently titled “Trump criticized by Republicans and Democrats after questioning Harris’s racial identity – live”.

      I’m gonna guess tons of people saw that headline, read it, and that was the last piece of engagement they had with this.

      Which is why you need one of these up on major newspapers every day.

        Which is why you need one of these up on major newspapers every day.

        You think the majority of Americans who aren’t already voting read Newspapers everyday?

        Specifically a British one?

        I’m not going to spend anymore time explaining this, it’s clearly not working.

          That pice is actually not in the UK edition. The Guardian publishes a specific edition for the US, hence the American spelling on that one. My understanding is they have some reach, apparently. You made me look it up, their advertising brochure has them being about half the size of the Washington Post in the US.

          Not that it matters for the issue at hand, but it’s an interesting factoid.
