In her upcoming memoir, Nancy Pelosi recalled telling then-President Donald Trump to give it a rest during a late-night phone call, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Pelosi said Trump, now 78, used to call her at night to discuss political issues. She recalled one vivid conversation where he rang to blame former POTUS Barack Obama for missile strikes he had just ordered on Syria.
Her response was blunt: “It’s midnight. I think you should go to sleep.”
In her new book, Nancy Pelosi revealed she felt Trump was an 'imposter.'
In The Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House, Pelosi, 84, raised the alarm about the 2024 GOP candidate's fitness to serve as commander-in-chief, calling him "imbalanced" and "unhinged"
She wrote: “I’m not a doctor, but I did find his behaviors difficult to understand.”
The former speaker also described being swarmed by mental health professionals who were "deeply concerned that there was something seriously wrong" with Trump at a memorial service for a renowned psychiatrist in 2019. They reportedly told her it was clear "his mental and psychological health was in decline”.

Pelosi said Trump's "mental imbalance" was clear to her by January 6, 2021, when insurrectionists stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
She penned: “People still ask me how I remained so calm. My answer is that I was already deeply aware of how dangerous Donald Trump was."
"I had seen it up close. 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. His repeated, ridiculous insistence that he was the greatest of all time.”
Pelosi, 84, said she saw how 'dangerous' Trump was 'up close' while working as House Speaker.
"He continues to be dangerous. 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 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.”
