Total Speculation: Pelosi knows Trump is in extremely bad shape [View all]

I have a theory and the more news we are getting today, the more I think it's correct. The Speaker of the House would likely have tons of inside information and people keeping tabs on individuals like Trump. That shouldn't be all that shocking. Powerful people get tons of information sent to them. Assuming that is indeed the case, Pelosi probably knows better than most people what kind of shape Trump is truly in. It is already extremely hard to believe that he has "beaten covid" as he and his supporters claim. In reality, even with the best medical care in the world (although he is obviously ignoring a lot of medical advice) Trump is still going to have a very rough time actually recovering from Covid.

So, if I'm correct, Pelosi may very well know that Trump is on his last legs, in one way or another, and that is why she is so comfortable to push the 25 amendment. Otherwise, if she was just shooting from the hip, it would be a suggestion that would carry quite a bit of risk without any guarantee it would help anything. Why take a risk with the election only 26 days away and the Democrats polling in landslide territory in the Presidential race, House, and Senate. If Trump wasn't any more of a danger than he usually is or if he was doing ok, then the Dems would be more than happy to sit back and let him implode with all of his deranged twitter screaming and green screen videos.

It wouldn't make any sense unless Pelosi knows something is up. Combine this with Carl Bernstein saying Republican Senators are getting freaked out because they think or know Trump is hiding serious health problems, and Pence canceling his campaign stops. I think something is up....
