The former House Speaker also expressed her opinions on Trump's cognitive health. "I’m not a doctor, but I did find his behaviors difficult to understand," she wrote, later describing him as "unhinged."

"His denial and then delays when the Covid pandemic struck, his penchant for repeatedly stomping out of meetings, his foul mouth, his pounding on tables, his temper tantrums, his disrespect for our nation’s patriots, and his total separation from reality and actual events," the 84-year-old California Democrat explained. "His repeated, ridiculous insistence that he was the greatest of all time."

Pelosi acknowledged in the book that it was "clear to me from the start that he was an imposter — and that on some level, he knew it."

When asked how she could remain so calm on January 6, 2021, she simply claimed that she had already been "deeply aware of how dangerous Donald Trump was."

"He continues to be dangerous," she remarked. "If his family and staff truly understood his disregard for both the fundamentals of the law and for basic rules, and if they had reckoned with his personal instability over not winning the [2020] election, they should have staged an intervention. Whether because of willful blindness, money, prestige, or greed, they didn’t — and America has paid a steep price."

‘The Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House’ is set to be released on Tuesday, August 6.

Internet reacts to Nancy Pelosi's claims about Donald Trump

Netizens shared their thoughts and opinions surrounding former president Donald Trump's mental health in light of recent allegations that the 78-year-old MAGA strongman used to pester former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with late-night phone calls.

One X user remarked, "One need not be a doctor to know there's something seriously wrong and it's not just amorality."



 

Another user quipped, "Republicans don’t care about dementia anymore, it’s magic."



 

Another user claimed, "He has been unfit ever since he was first elected."



 

One user said, "We have all been concerned about Trump's mental health."



 

Another X user asked, "But why are we hearing this just now? Who does everyone hold back the most consequential news for books. It’s really f***ing frustrating. This is something that could have helped invoked the 25th amendment. Maybe I’m wrong and I don’t have all the facts yet."



 

Another user tweeted, "Enough of the 'decline' stuff! Somebody put the orange a*s in jail."
