Trump Criticizes Nancy Pelosi Over Insider Trading Allegations

Former President Donald Trump publicly condemned Nancy Pelosi, calling her a “disgusting degenerate,” and accused her and her husband of profiting from privileged information.

In a post on social media, Trump claimed that Pelosi and her husband outperformed all Wall Street hedge funds in 2024, suggesting they gained wealth through insider knowledge. He questioned whether someone should investigate their financial dealings and highlighted his own political resilience, noting how he survived two impeachment attempts led by Pelosi.

“Is anyone looking into this? She’s a disgrace, who impeached me twice without cause and lost—how are you feeling now, Nancy?” Trump wrote.

Pelosi, 85, has long denied allegations of insider trading. Her spokesperson has stated, “Pelosi does not own stocks nor is she involved in any transactions,” though her financial status remains largely private since lawmakers are not required to disclose their net worth fully.

Estimates suggest Pelosi’s wealth exceeds $263 million, making her one of the wealthiest members of Congress. Her husband, Paul Pelosi, has achieved significant financial gains from trades, outperforming the S&P 500 and making strategic investments in tech firms like Tempus AI, which doubled in value after securing a major deal with AstraZeneca.

Additionally, Pelosi’s husband has made well-timed trades in companies like NVIDIA and Microsoft—selling substantial stock holdings just before regulatory investigations into the firms. Last year, Paul Pelosi sold $2.2 million worth of Microsoft shares ahead of an antitrust probe.

Pelosi engaged in heated debate over potential legislation banning individual stock trading by Congress members. Though initially opposing such bans, she has supported some measures aimed at restricting lawmakers’ investments.

Recently, legislation proposed by Senator Josh Hawley to ban stock ownership among lawmakers received bipartisan attention and arose questions about its impact. Trump initially criticized Hawley but later appeared to approve after clarifying that the ban would not affect a sitting president until 2029.

It remains uncertain whether Pelosi plans to seek re-election in 2026.
