On August 11, 2025, President Donald Trump unleashed a sharp attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), accusing her and her husband of insider trading while claiming she led two baseless impeachment efforts against him.
In a Truth Social post reported by Raw Story, Trump expressed lingering resentment over his 2019 and 2021 impeachments, asserting that Pelosi’s actions were groundless and that her financial success stemmed from unethical stock trading.
The outburst reignites debates about Trump’s impeachments and congressional ethics, reflecting ongoing political tensions.
In his Sunday post, Trump 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!”
He further labeled Pelosi a “disgusting degenerate” who “Impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST!” as quoted by Raw Story.
Trump’s remarks refer to Pelosi’s leadership in his first impeachment in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to the Ukraine scandal, and his second in 2021 for incitement of insurrection following the January 6 Capitol riot.
Both impeachments resulted in Senate acquittals, as noted by Wikipedia.
Pelosi has faced allegations of insider trading due to her significant stock portfolio and trades, which critics argue may have benefited from privileged congressional information.
Raw Story reported that these allegations have fueled calls for stricter financial disclosure and trading regulations for lawmakers, though Pelosi has consistently denied wrongdoing.
Trump’s post amplifies these criticisms, framing Pelosi’s wealth as evidence of corruption while dismissing her impeachment efforts as politically motivated.
Trump’s first impeachment stemmed from allegations that he pressured Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden, leading to charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, as detailed by Wikipedia.
The second followed the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, with the House citing incitement of insurrection in a bipartisan vote, making Trump the only U.S. president impeached twice.
The Senate acquitted him in both cases, with the second trial ending with a vote 10 short of the two-thirds majority needed for conviction, according to a post by @EmeraldRobinson on X.
Public reactions on X highlight the divisive legacy of these events.
For instance, @valdemings, a former congresswoman, stated, “President Trump is rightfully ashamed of his past high crimes and misdemeanors, but he can’t rewrite history.
He was impeached – twice.
I was there,” reflecting Democratic sentiment.
Conversely, supporters like @LionelMedia praised Trump’s resilience, dismissing the impeachments as partisan attacks.
These views, while not conclusive, underscore the polarized discourse surrounding Trump’s presidency.

Broader Political Implications
Trump’s attack on Pelosi coincides with renewed discussions about impeachment, as some Democrats push for a third impeachment over his second-term actions.
Raw Story reported that Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) filed seven articles of impeachment in April 2025, citing issues like obstruction of justice and abuse of trade powers, though the effort stalled due to lack of Democratic support.
Similarly, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) filed an article in 2025, alleging Trump’s actions threaten democracy, but Republican control of Congress makes conviction unlikely.
The controversy also ties into broader concerns about congressional ethics.
Pelosi’s stock trades, particularly those by her husband, Paul, have drawn scrutiny, with outlets like MoneyWise noting that her portfolio outperformed many hedge funds in 2024.
While no evidence confirms insider trading, the allegations have prompted legislative proposals to restrict lawmakers’ stock activities, as reported by Raw Story.
Trump’s latest outburst highlights his ongoing fixation with past impeachments and his tendency to attack critics personally.
As his second term progresses, the specter of impeachment looms, with legal experts like Michael Gerhardt suggesting Trump’s actions—such as pardoning January 6 rioters—could justify further proceedings, per Raw Story.
However, with Republican majorities in Congress, any impeachment effort faces significant hurdles.
