Internet slams ‘delusional’ Nancy Pelosi after she says it's 'impossible' for Trump to be President again
WASHINGTON, DC: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated it is "impossible" for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump to return as the President.
On Friday, January 12, the Congresswoman said to CNN's Phil Mattingly, "Many of us know that it's impossible for him [Trump] to be the president again with what he is proposing."
Pelosi underscored the ex-president's second-term policy focus on "more tax cuts for corporate America," cautioning that it could harm the national budget and hinder meeting the needs of the people.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on January 10, President Joe Biden and his predecessor are in a neck-and-neck race in their bid for a second term in the Oval Office.
Trump will kickstart the election year on January 15 with the Iowa Republican caucus, where he is expected to win, leading to a likely Biden-Trump rematch in November.
'Public sentiment is everything'
Criticizing Trump's plans to reduce corporate tax in a potential second presidential term, Pelosi cited Abraham Lincoln's philosophy "public sentiment is everything".
"With it, you can accomplish almost anything. Without it practically nothing. But public sentiment has to be informed."
The California Congresswoman highlighted the importance of people's financial health and security along with their body health achieved through the lower cost of prescription drugs and healthcare. Pelosi then added how President Biden differed from his predecessor in that matter.
Emphasizing the significance of the President's vision, understanding of key issues, and strategic legislative thinking, she noted that his emotional connection with the country's working families was equally crucial.
"He springs from that background, and he understands it, and he cares about it. So that's what you will see. And again, the president and millions of people mobilizing outside to get the message out, neighbor to neighbor, friend to friend, person to person," Pelosi added.
Trump, amid his legal troubles, is showing the potential of becoming the Republican party nominee as he leads with a more significant margin compared to his rival contenders, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley.
Despite the Democratic Party's attempts to push his involvement in the January 6 Capitol attack, labeling him a "threat to democracy," Trump seems to be unaffected by the accusations, standing firm on denying the allegations.
