Moments After Questioning Trump's Mental Health, Pelosi Has Senior Moment(s)

Pelosi's aide came to her assistance, passing her a note alerting her to the slip-up she's made many times before

Shortly after calling into question President Trump's mental health on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's own mental health came under scrutiny, as the 77-year-old California congresswoman referred to President Trump as "President Bush" and forgot what day of the week it is.

A reporter quickly helped her correct the gaffe, interjecting "Trump," but Pelosi appeared oblivious she slipped up.

An aide then emerged from the sidelines, passing Pelosi a note, notifying her she got the two presidents mixed up again.

Pelosi's confusion came just two hours after suggesting Trump was losing his mind. "I am concerned," she said on MSNBC, about Trump's "fitness for office."

"I think his family should be concerned about his health," Pelosi said. "The fact is that this is hopefully not reparable -- he’s the president of the United States."

"You mean you hope it is reparable?" Joe Scarborough asked, apparently confused.

"Yeah, yeah," she replied.

Asked if she had advise for Trump, she said, "go to sleep, get some sleep. Bring yourself to a place where your synapses are working."

During her weekly press conference, Pelosi not only became confused over who is president, but also what day of the week it is.

"I spoke to the speaker a week and a couple days ago -- last Friday," she said. "What is today? Friday again?"

“It is time for Pelosi to withdraw. Her brain is not sharp enough for her job.”

Being a Democrat is easy. Two rules.

One, anything that expands government power, other than the military, is good.

Two, the Republicans are evil and must be opposed.

These politicians(Pelosi et al) keep on holding on to power and eventually loose it. Poor Nancy is a prime example of same and start to embarrass themselves. Sad thing is their gang keeps on enabling them, despite the embarrassment????

Maybe she and McCain should get together and have their own private Easter Egg hunt.

It is past time for TERM LIMITS..

and members of Congress should be advised when they begin to lose their thoughts and memory that they need to RESIGN AND LEAVE.

There are many in Congress with this very problem..this needs immediate attention.

Old age is not an indicator. I know a classmate who began to show signs of senility at 55 years of age. Today she is a basketcase at 68.

I had a friend move here at 70 years of age. Very sharp mind.
One day he felt “strange” as if he was going to pass out and thinks he did for about a second or two.
Within six months he was totally senile.

Maybe we need a poll or the odds to who will totally lose their demented/fragile minds totally:

McAinal or Pelosi?

Pelosi, daily us reminds of Boxer in her last years as a $inator.

Boxer had handlers to help shut her up or to bail her out when her Botoxed ODed mind lost track of what she was saying.

So, who will be the first to lose what’s left of their demented minds in their losing race against Father Time?

McAinal or Pelosi?

My mother feared Alzheimers above all.

When I would go to visit, she would make recitations. She would recite the left handed cousins. ( I am left handed and to her dying day she would apologize for me being left handed). There was a family we knew with 10 kids. She would recite them in order. She would casually introduce the subject of marriage and then recite which of my highschool classmates ( of 40 years ago) married which. An on and on, birth days, anniversaries etc.

Her mind remained pretty sharp till the end

Nice to see reporters jumping in to help just like they would for a republican.

Senior moments for Pelosi, senior moments for McCain (who acted confused during the Comey questioning). Maybe these two should get together. /S

One of my classmates died of early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 59, back in 2014.

She was a nurse in a big hospital, and had the best of care. Married a guy she met in kindergarten, they were successful financially.

I am really beginning to think that Mr. Trump has an Angel on his shoulder.....He keeps the demons away from them, perchance?

[.... Considering this and many other similar incidents .... I am really beginning to think that Mr. Trump has an Angel on his shoulder.]

ANSWERED PRAYER. GOD keeps His Promises.

PSALM 64
O God, listen to my complaint.
Protect my life from my enemies’ threats.
2
Hide me from the plots of this evil mob,
from this gang of wrongdoers.
3
They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their bitter words like arrows.
4
They shoot from ambush at the innocent,
attacking suddenly and fearlessly.
5
They encourage each other to do evil
and plan how to set their traps in secret.
“Who will ever notice?” they ask.
6
As they plot their crimes, they say,
“We have devised the perfect plan!”
Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.

7
But God himself will shoot them with his arrows,
suddenly striking them down.
8
Their own tongues will ruin them,
and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9
Then everyone will be afraid;
they will proclaim the mighty acts of God
and realize all the amazing things he does.
10
The godly will rejoice in the Lord
and find shelter in him.
And those who do what is right
will praise him.

My mom could recall vivid details of a childhood family trip but couldn’t remember walking out to check the mailbox 5 times in 30 minutes.

I remember visiting her a year or so before the end. I was with her for a couple hours and left for no more than 15 minutes to run a quick errand. Upon return, I could tell she was tell she was worried about something by her mannerisms. I asked her if there was something wrong and she said: “I don’t know who your are and you should leave.”

Alzheimers is a terrible disease and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I absolutely love Glen Campbell’s song, I won’t miss you, because it is the way it is.
