In a jaw-dropping exchange with Fox Newsâ Peter Doocy, former President Donald Trump didnât just react to Nancy Pelosiâs retirement â he set Washington on fire.
âThe retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America,â Trump said.
âShe was evil, she was corrupt, and she was rapidly losing control of her party. Iâm very honored she impeached me twice â and failed miserably twice.â
His words hit like a political thunderclap â ending Pelosiâs decades-long congressional career with the same drama and division that defined their rivalry.
Within minutes of the Fox News segment airing, âTrump vs. Pelosiâ was trending nationwide, with supporters cheering and critics fuming.
The End of an Era â and Trumpâs Victory Lap
Pelosi, 84, announced Thursday that she would not seek re-election, closing a 37-year run in Congress that saw her rise as the first woman Speaker of the House â and one of Trumpâs fiercest adversaries.
But Trump didnât offer the usual political politeness. Instead, he framed her departure as a national relief and a symbolic victory for his America First movement.
âShe represented everything wrong with Washington â arrogance, corruption, and hate,â a Trump adviser told Fox.
âNow sheâs leaving in disgrace, and the country is better off for it.â
Political insiders say Trumpâs timing was no accident. With his 2025 campaign gearing up, heâs reclaiming his old feuds â and Pelosi was always his most famous.
Trump vs. Pelosi: A Political War for the Ages
For nearly a decade, Pelosi and Trump embodied the clash between establishment power and populist rebellion.
She tore up his State of the Union speech.
He mocked her as âcrazy Nancy.â
She impeached him twice.
He beat both charges â and turned each trial into a rallying cry.
Now, as she steps off the national stage, Trump is reminding Americans of that scorecard â and claiming victory once again.
âShe impeached me twice,â Trump told Doocy, smirking. âAnd failed miserably both times. That tells you everything you need to know about her leadership.â
Democrats Rattled, Republicans Rejoice
Inside Democratic circles, Pelosiâs exit was meant to symbolize âgraceful transition.â
Instead, Trumpâs fiery reaction turned it into a political flashpoint, reigniting old wounds and forcing the left to defend one of its most polarizing figures.
Republicans, meanwhile, wasted no time celebrating.
House conservatives called her departure âthe end of an era of corruption,â while others credited Trump for outlasting his fiercest critic.
âPelosi spent years trying to destroy Trump,â one GOP strategist said. âNow heâs still standing â and sheâs gone. That says it all.â
The Power Shift in Washington
Pelosiâs exit marks a massive shift in Democratic leadership.
Younger progressives are expected to fill the void â a move that could deepen the partyâs internal divide, something Trump gleefully noted.
âShe was losing control of her party,â Trump said. âAnd it was never coming back.â
Analysts say that comment cuts deep: for months, Pelosi had struggled to manage radical left factions and navigate public disapproval, especially after years of controversy surrounding insider trading and partisan showdowns.
Trump, ever the strategist, used her downfall to reinforce his 2025 message â that Washingtonâs establishment is collapsing, and his brand of populism is the future.
Trumpâs Final Word â âGood Riddanceâ
As the Fox News clip went viral, Trump doubled down on Truth Social:
âNancy Pelosiâs retirement is long overdue. She hurt America, she divided the country, and she failed every time she tried to take me down. GOOD RIDDANCE!â
His post racked up millions of views within hours â solidifying what even his critics admit: Trump still drives the conversation.
Whether you love him or loathe him, Trump once again turned someone elseâs headline into his own spotlight.
And for Washington, thatâs the ultimate reminder â heâs not done yet.
