President Donald Trump furiously accused former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of shady stock market dealings this weekend.
Shooting off an angry Truth Social post Saturday night, the president wrote, “Crooked Nancy Pelosi, and her very ‘interesting’ husband, beat every Hedge Fund in 2024. In other words, these two very average ‘minds’ beat ALL of the Super Geniuses on Wall Street, thousands of them.”
“It’s all INSIDE iNFORMATION! Is anybody looking into this???” he then asked.
Hiding no hints of bitterness, Trump added, “She is a disgusting degenerate, who Impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST! How are you feeling now, Nancy???”
Her husband Paul Pelosi’s knack for trading has long been a topic of conversation.
For years, Paul Pelosi’s portfolio has regularly outperformed top hedge funds, raising questions about if his wife’s role in Washington, D.C., has helped give him an unfair edge on the market.
Pelosi has claimed she has no say in her husband’s trading decisions and defended his stock dealings as his right to participate in the free market.
Though she previously balked at the idea of enacting trade restrictions on politicians, Pelosi seems to have shifted her position in recent days.
Last month, she endorsed Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-Mo.) bipartisan backed HONEST Act (Halting Ownership and Non-Ethical Stock Transactions,) which would ban federal legislators, the president and the vice president from trading stocks.
“The American people deserve confidence that their elected leaders are serving the public interest, not their personal portfolios,” she told The Associated Press in July.
In 2023 when the legislation was originally introduced, it was dubbed the PELOSI Act, short for Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments.

Though the Pelosis’ trading habits have raised eyebrows, Trump has not been shy about parlaying his political position into profit.
