Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has amassed a net worth of more than $100 million in her political career, has suggested that Donald Trump is an egomaniac.
In an interview with former White House press secretary and MSNBC host Jen Psaki, Pelosi said it was “very clear” that Trump was defrauding his donors.
Psaki commented, “You have long been ahead of the curve that Trump is a thug.” “The fact that they want to pay his legal bills themselves despite claiming to be a billionaire seems like an example of what you have in front of you. “I know your concern is not about Republican donors, but are they being defrauded?”
Pelosi responded, “Well, I think it's pretty clear that Trump is a fraud.” “That's the way it should be done. Honesty is something we all want to deepen in politics all the time and the government has taken that on board.
He added, “These people who are very happy to give him money to pay his legal fees should be told where they are spending the money.”
Such feedback are deeply ironic given Pelosi's lengthy historical past of creating enormous income on shares, which has raised suspicions about potential insider buying and selling.
Simply final month, Pelosi's husband Paul made an enormous revenue of $1.25 million from laptop chip firm Nvidia in simply three months.
In 2021, Pelosi defended the shopping for and promoting of shares by members of Congress on the grounds that the US has a free-market financial system.
“Ought to members of Congress and their spouses be banned from buying and selling particular person shares whereas serving in Congress?”. a reporter requested Pelos on the time.
“No…we're a free market financial system,” he responded. “We’re a free-market financial system and they need to be capable to take part in it.”
