Donald Trump Explodes on Pelosi: Calls Her “Disgusting Degenerate” and Accuses Couple of Cashing In on Insider Secrets
Donald Trump unleashed one of his most aggressive public attacks yet against former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, taking to Truth Social late Sunday night to call her a “disgusting degenerate” and accuse her and her husband, Paul Pelosi, of corrupt financial dealings. His post was part personal insult, part financial accusation, and part political score-settling, revisiting grievances from his time in office and suggesting — without providing any concrete evidence — that the couple had used inside information to make a fortune.
In the lengthy rant, Trump mocked the Pelosis for allegedly outperforming “every Hedge Fund in 2024,” emphasizing that these so-called “very average minds” had somehow managed to beat “ALL of the Super Geniuses on Wall Street.” He framed this as suspicious and all but accused Nancy Pelosi of profiting from privileged, non-public information she had access to while in Congress. “It’s all INSIDE INFORMATION! Is anybody looking into this???” Trump wrote, using capital letters for emphasis and echoing claims he has made many times before about her family’s wealth.
Trump also tied the attack to his political history with Pelosi, reminding his followers that she led the House in impeaching him twice during his presidency. He called those impeachments baseless, claiming they were “on NO GROUNDS” and using the insult “disgusting degenerate” to punctuate his disdain. “How are you feeling now, Nancy???” he added, taunting her as if the political tables had turned in his favor.
The former president has long singled out Paul Pelosi’s success in the stock market, portraying it as suspicious and corrupt despite no public evidence of wrongdoing. Over the years, these accusations have fueled public skepticism about whether lawmakers or their families should be allowed to trade individual stocks while in office. The controversy has even inspired legislation nicknamed the PELOSI Act — short for Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments — a proposal Trump has publicly supported and promoted.
Critics of the Pelosis often point to Paul Pelosi’s market moves, noting that he has reportedly earned hundreds of millions of dollars during Nancy Pelosi’s time in Congress. Supporters counter that he is an experienced investor in his own right and that there’s no proof of insider trading. In July, a spokesperson for Nancy Pelosi told the New York Post that she personally does not own any stocks and is not involved in her husband’s trading decisions, saying she has “no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions.”
Despite repeated denials from Pelosi’s office, Trump has kept these allegations alive in speeches, interviews, and social media posts, portraying them as part of a larger narrative of corruption among his political enemies. His most recent attack appears to be both a revival of those claims and a personal score-settling exercise, mixing his ongoing feud with Pelosi with populist outrage over perceived political self-enrichment.
What triggered Trump’s latest outburst remains unclear. There was no obvious public event or news story involving the Pelosis that would have prompted it. Still, the tone of his post suggests that, for Trump, the accusations are as much about political theater and rallying his base as they are about the specifics of Paul Pelosi’s financial success. It also reflects a familiar pattern in Trump’s communication style — blending personal insult, political grievance, and an unverified corruption narrative into a single explosive message aimed squarely at one of his most high-profile political adversaries.
