Pelosi, who last week announced her bid to be the next Speaker, also told The Atlantic that anyone who watched Trump's post-election news conference last week "would know that we have to pray for our country very deeply."

“Pray for him, too, but for our country,” she added.

Trump has previously defended his mental stability in the face of questions over whether he is fit to serve as president.

In January, he labeled himself "really smart."

"Now that Russian collusion, after one year of intense study, has proven to be a total hoax on the American public, the Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media, are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence," he wrote in a tweet.

"Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.

Trump doubled down on that claim in July, calling himself a "very stable genius" during a press conference.
