JUST IN: Trump says: “Nancy Pelosi, the old and broken political hack who Impeached me twice and lost, is finally calling it “quits.” She illegally made a fortune in the Stock Market, ripped off the American Public, and was a disaster for America. I’m glad to see the stench of Nancy Pelosi go.”

Trump’s message reads this way: “Nancy Pelosi, the old and broken political hack who Impeached me twice and lost, is finally calling it ‘quits.’ She illegally made a fortune in the Stock Market, ripped off the American Public, and was a disaster for America. I’m glad to see the stench of Nancy Pelosi go.”

The tone is sharply personal and highly critical. He labels Pelosi as “old and broken,” accuses her of wrongdoing (illegal profit from the stock market), frames her career as a disaster for the country, and celebrates her stepping away from politics.

Context: Pelosi’s career & Trump-Pelosi history

Nancy Pelosi has been one of the most prominent figures in U.S. congressional politics:

She served many terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing California.

She became the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Her tenure included major legislative achievements such as the Affordable Care Act and other landmark bills.

Her relationship with Trump has long been adversarial:

As Speaker, she presided during the two impeachment processes of Trump.

She has publicly criticised him in strong terms — for example calling him “a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the earth.”

On the other side, Trump has frequently used strong language about Pelosi, and their exchanges have become symbolic of broader partisan conflict.

Evaluating the claims

Let’s unpack the main allegations in Trump’s statement and assess them:

1. “Old and broken political hack”

This is a rhetorical insult rather than a factual claim. The use of “hack” implies opportunistic, insincere politics; “old and broken” suggests decline. It is partisan commentary.

Factually: Pelosi is advanced in age (85 as of late-2025) and has announced she will not seek reelection. So “calling it quits” has a factual basis.

But “broken” and “hack” remain subjective characterisations.

2. “Who impeached me twice and lost”

Pelosi’s House leadership did oversee two impeachments of Trump (2019 and 2021). That part is correct.

The phrase “and lost” likely refers to the Senate acquittals or that Trump remained in office. Depending on one’s view, “lost” may mean she failed to remove him, or simply that his presidency continued. The statement is partisan framing.

3. “She illegally made a fortune in the Stock Market, ripped off the American Public”

This is a serious accusation of illegal conduct. I found no authoritative source in this search that confirms Pelosi illegally made a fortune in the stock market with proven wrongdoing.

Many elected officials, including Pelosi, have been criticised over stock trades and ethics concerns, but an accusation of illegal behaviour would require some legal finding or credible investigation. I did not locate a clear such finding in the referenced material.

Thus this remains an unsubstantiated claim. If someone is reading this article, they should be aware that no publicly verified judgment of illegal profiteering was cited in the sources I found.

4. “Was a disaster for America”

This is again rhetorical, strongly subjective, and reflects the speaker’s political view. Whether Pelosi’s impact was a “disaster” depends heavily on political perspective.

Supporters might say she achieved major legislative victories; critics might say she contributed to polarisation. Both views co-exist.

5. “I’m glad to see the stench of Nancy Pelosi go.”

This is rhetorical flourish: celebrating her exit (or stepping back) from office.

As noted, Pelosi has announced she will not seek reelection, so Trump saying he is “glad” is consistent with that development.

Significance & implications

Symbolic moment: Pelosi’s decision to step away signals a generational shift in U.S. House Democratic leadership. Her tenure was long, and her exit allows new leadership to emerge.

Polarisation: The language used by Trump underscores how entrenched the divisions are. It shows politics has become highly personalised.

Fact vs rhetoric: While some factual basis exists (impeachments, decision to step down), many of the claims are rhetorical or unverified (illegal stock trading). Readers should distinguish between provable facts and partisan claims.

Legacy in conflict: Pelosi’s supporters emphasise her legislative achievements and trail-blazing role. Her detractors emphasise polarisation, enter-partisan conflict, and what they view as the excesses of her years in power. This statement from Trump reflects the latter view.

Future party dynamics: With Pelosi stepping aside, the Democratic Party will need to navigate who takes over her leadership mantle. The dynamic between Republicans (including Trump) and this next generation of Democrats may shift.

Conclusion

Trump’s remarks on Pelosi showcase a vivid moment of partisan critique. On one hand, they echo longstanding animosity between two dominant political figures. On the other hand, the statement mixes verified facts (Pelosi’s impeachments, her impending departure) with strong rhetorical claims (illegal trading, being a “disaster for America”) that lack clear independent verification in the material I found.
