Donald Trump’s recent statement on Truth Social took aim at Nancy Pelosi, accusing her of being responsible for the security failures on January 6th and criticizing her cognitive abilities. Trump referred to Pelosi as “Crazy Nancy,” a nickname he has frequently used in the past, and claimed that her daughter, a filmmaker, had exposed her as being fully accountable for the lack of security during the Capitol insurrection.
In his post, Trump asserted that Pelosi appeared “way ‘off'” during a recent interview he watched, implying cognitive impairment. He also accused her of suffering from “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” a term often used by his supporters to describe intense opposition to him, and suggested that her condition was terminal. Trump concluded by characterizing Pelosi as a “sick ‘puppy'” and asserting that she has always been so.
Questions remain about whether Melania Trump will attend Thursday night’s presidential debate as uncertainty surrounds her public support for her husband’s campaign. During a conference call with reporters, Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller couldn’t confirm her attendance, suggesting an announcement might be made at the debate itself. The advisory for Trump’s arrival in Atlanta only listed his name, omitting Melania and other family members.
In contrast, the White House confirmed that First Lady Jill Biden will attend the debate and a rally with President Joe Biden in Atlanta on Friday. Presidential historian Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky noted it would be surprising for a candidate’s spouse to miss such an event, given the tradition of family attendance since 1976.
Adding to the mystery, a new report suggests Melania Trump may not live in Washington D.C. full-time if her husband wins a second term. Instead, she might split her time between Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City, especially with their son Barron potentially attending New York University. Melania would likely travel to D.C. only for ceremonial duties.
