Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed that former President Donald Trump’s brain is “deteriorating” and he will not be capable of serving out a four-year term as president.
During an appearance on MSNBC, Pelosi said that individuals thinking of voting 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 … and they may be voting for President Vance, which would be a horrible thing for our country.”
While speaking in Pennsylvania on Sunday, Trump — who was shot in the ear earlier this year during a speech — made a joke, saying, “to get me somebody would have to shoot through the fake news, and I don’t mind that so much.”

“Something’s very wrong there,” Pelosi said.

“The only thing deteriorating is Nancy Pelosi who is a decrepit washed up corrupt politician who America can no longer stand,” Leavitt said in the statement. “She should go back to the City of San Francisco, which she has totally destroyed, and never return.”
Pelosi has served in Congress since mid-1987.
