Former President Donald Trump didn’t hold back when responding to news that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not seek re-election.
In true Trump fashion, the 45th President delivered a mix of sarcasm, celebration, and scathing critique — calling Pelosi “evil,” “corrupt,” and “one of the most dishonest politicians in American history.”
“The retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America,” Trump declared during a Friday morning interview.
“She was rapidly losing control of her party, and it was never coming back. I’m very honored she impeached me twice — and failed miserably twice.”
His remarks sent shockwaves through Washington — and social media immediately lit up with debate.
Pelosi’s Power Fades as Trump Takes a Victory Lap
For years, Pelosi and Trump embodied the fierce divide in American politics — two titans locked in an endless battle of ideology and personality.
From her dramatic tearing of Trump’s 2020 State of the Union speech to her leading two failed impeachment efforts, Pelosi became the face of Democratic resistance.
Now, with her decision not to run again, Trump is framing her retirement as a symbolic defeat for the Washington establishment.
Political observers note that Trump’s tone wasn’t just personal — it was strategic.
He’s sending a message to both parties: that the “old guard” of Washington, represented by figures like Pelosi, is fading — and that the populist movement she tried to crush is stronger than ever.
“Pelosi spent years trying to destroy the America First movement,” one Trump adviser said.
“Now she’s the one walking away — while Trump is rising again.”
A Bitter Rivalry Comes Full Circle
Few political rivalries in modern history have been as dramatic as Trump vs. Pelosi.
She called him “dangerous.”
He called her “a total disaster for America.”
Pelosi once described Trump’s presidency as “a dark period for democracy,” while Trump repeatedly accused her of “using Congress as a personal weapon.”
Their feud defined an era — and even after leaving the speakership, Pelosi often remained one of Trump’s loudest critics.
Her retirement, therefore, feels like the end of a long-running political war — one that Trump is now claiming victory in.
Trump’s Message to the GOP — and the Nation
Trump’s statement wasn’t just about Pelosi. It was also a signal to Republicans — especially those skeptical of his 2024 comeback.
By framing Pelosi’s exit as proof that “the system is collapsing under its own corruption,” Trump is reminding his supporters why his movement began in the first place.
“Pelosi’s career represents everything Americans are sick of — corruption, hypocrisy, and arrogance,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“She failed the country, she failed her party, and she failed the people of San Fr
Trump’s team is reportedly planning to highlight Pelosi’s legacy in upcoming campaign materials — contrasting her “elitism” with his own “America First” populism.
Pelosi’s Silence — and Washington’s Shock
So far, Pelosi has not publicly responded to Trump’s comments.
But inside the Capitol, lawmakers from both parties privately admit that her retirement marks the end of an era — and possibly the beginning of another Trump-dominated chapter in American politics.
Even some Democrats concede that Pelosi’s influence had been waning as progressives and younger lawmakers pushed the party further left, leaving her struggling to maintain control — just as Trump noted.
“She was rapidly losing control of her party,” Trump said.
“And it was never coming back.”
The Final Word
In one statement, Trump managed to turn his old rival’s retirement into a personal victory lap — and a rallying cry for his movement.
As Pelosi exits the stage, Trump is once again the one setting the narrative — and the tone — for America’s political future.
“I’m honored she impeached me twice,” Trump said, smiling. “And failed miserably twice.”
For the former President, it was classic Trump: ruthless, unapologetic, and, as always — headline-making.
