Former President Donald Trump isn’t sitting idly by while questionable stock trades swirl around Capitol Hill. He’s shining a spotlight on the curious financial escapades of U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi and her better half, Paul Pelosi, after revelations surfaced about a financial transaction that raises more eyebrows than a National Geographic special on eyebrow grooming.
According to reports, the Pelosis sold off a hefty chunk of Visa stock just one day before the Department of Justice made its grand legal announcement about suing Visa. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the impeccable timing here. Paul Pelosi sold 2,000 shares for no less than $500,000 on July 1, right before the proverbial storm hit. It’s a classic case of “I swear, it’s just a coincidence!” that even the most gullible would struggle to believe.
This isn’t the first rodeo for the Pelosis when it comes to lucrative stock trades. Over the years, they’ve accumulated quite the portfolio, and one has to wonder if their success is merely due to luck or if Paul Pelosi has been borrowing some insider tips from Nancy’s inside-the-beltway connections. Despite her claims of ignorance, most are left with a skeptical head shake, doubtfully accepting that a sitting member of Congress would be unaware of her husband’s financial moves that closely follow major federal announcements.
Trump, who has never been one to shy away from controversy, weighed in on the unfolding saga at his very own Trump Tower press conference. In his typical no-nonsense fashion, he pointed to the glaring timing of the stock sale and suggested that it reeks of insider trading. According to him, there’s no possibility that it was just a happy coincidence. Judging by how the Democrats operate, one could almost picture Nancy handing Paul a slip of paper with a “sell now” note written on it just as the ink was drying on the DOJ’s lawsuit announcement.
While the idea of prosecuting Pelosi seems appealing to Trump and many others, the likelihood of it happening is about as slim as a liberal admitting they errantly backed an unqualified candidate. Meanwhile, calls to ban congressional stock trading are echoing through the halls of Congress, yet progress on this front has been slower than a government bureaucracy shake-up. Perhaps the true scandal isn’t just the Pelosis’ timing but the persistent failure of Congress to enact any meaningful checks on their own financial shenanigans. This isn’t just a petty squeal about insider trading; it’s a full-blown circus, and Nancy Pelosi is front and center.
