Trump's outburst comes hours after Pelosi criticized Trump on X for several actions he's taken while in office
US President Donald Trump blasted former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi as a 'disgusting degenerate' while alleging that she and her hubby reaped a fortune off 'inside information.' He accused her of insider trading, just hours after the Democrat launched a scathing attack on the president."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! Is anybody looking into this???" Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday."She is a disgusting degenerate, who Impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST! How are you feeling now, Nancy???" Trump also implied that someone should look into Pelosi (D-Calif.) and gloated over how he overcame two impeachment efforts the leading Democrat oversaw.

It is not immediately clear what sparked Trump's broadside against Pelosi, 85, who has fiercely denied any accusations of insider trading. In January, Pelosi outright rejected Trump's suggestion that she "became rich" through insider trading, describing the allegation as "ridiculous" during an interview on CNN. 'Pelosi does not own any stocks and has no knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,' spokesperson Ian Krager told The Post last month.
Trump's outburst comes hours after Pelosi criticized Trump on X for several actions he's taken while in office, including his effort to redraw Texas' congressional districts. "Trump paved over the Rose Garden, freedom of speech, freedom of education, an independent judiciary and more. But we won't let him pave over free and fair elections in our country. California's response to the Texas redistricting power grab is self-defense for our Democracy," Pelosi wrote on X Saturday.

It is to be noted that the speaker emeritus has long faced scrutiny over her husband Paul's venture capital and other business endeavors. Lawmakers are not required to publicly divulge their net worth, which means it is unclear exactly how much she is worth.Quiver Quantitative estimates Nancy Pelosi's net worth at a minimum of $263.23 million, ranking her as the fourth wealthiest member of Congress — though some suggest she could be worth far more.
In 2024, Paul Pelosi's trades delivered an eye-popping 54% return, easily eclipsing the S&P 500's 25% gain, according to Bloomberg data cited by The Post.

One standout move came in January, when he bought shares of AI-driven health company Tempus AI at roughly $31.83 each. Months later, the company struck a $200 million deal with AstraZeneca, sending its stock soaring to about $60.87 — nearly doubling his investment. Other eyebrow-raising trades have included timely moves in NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, energy giant Vistra, and more.Pelosi also offloaded about $2.2 million worth of Microsoft shares last year — his largest sale in roughly three years — just months before the Federal Trade Commission launched an antitrust investigation into the tech giant.Back in 2021, Nancy Pelosi dismissed calls for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress, insisting, 'We're a free-market economy.' Since then, she has softened her stance and expressed support for certain versions of such a ban. Nancy Pelosi has not announced whether she will run for reelection in 2026.

Faulty math and accounting tricks: How much has DOGE inflated its savings numbers
Between February and July, DOGE's verifiable savings from cancelled contracts came to about $1.4 billion, far short of the $32.7 billion the agency claimed for that period. How did the numbers get so inflated? A man sprays paint graffiti against Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) on a Tesla showroom in New York, US, April 22, 2025, in this still image taken from video. Extinction Rebellion NYC via Reuters The Trump administration's flagship cost-cutting agency, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), says it has saved taxpayers more than $54 billion by tearing up federal contracts and taking a hard line on spending. A closer look at public data suggests those claims are greatly inflated. An analysis of federal spending records by POLITICO found that between February and July, DOGE's verifiable savings from cancelled contracts came to about $1.4 billion, far short of the $32.7 billion the agency claimed for that period. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Even then, none of that money will reduce the federal deficit unless Congress takes back the funds. Under current law, most of it stays with the agencies, which must spend it. Counting credit limits as cash in hand DOGE uses the maximum possible value of each contract as its baseline for 'savings' — the ceiling value, not the amount actually committed. Contract experts say that approach is like canceling a credit card with a $20,000 limit and claiming you just saved $20,000. In many cases, these ceiling figures far exceed what the government was likely to spend. The White House insists DOGE's data is sound. Spokesman Harrison Fields said the figures are 'rigorously scrubbed' with agency officials and updated in real time. But POLITICO found that about 40 per cent of claimed savings from posted contracts could not be verified because DOGE withheld identifying details. Lowering the ceiling instead of closing the account In many cases, DOGE is not canceling contracts outright but lowering their ceiling values. That reduces the theoretical maximum cost, but it does not mean those dollars would have been spent. For the contracts that could be traced, ceiling reductions totaled about $14 billion— well below the $32.7 billion in claimed savings. Some cancelled contracts have even been restarted. At the Department of Veterans Affairs, DOGE claimed $932 million in savings from cancellations, including a suicide prevention services contract. Records show the VA recovered only $132 million, then reinstated the suicide prevention work. Headline figures vs. reality on the ground One of DOGE's largest single claims involves a migrant shelter contract in Pecos, Texas. DOGE said canceling it would save $2.9 billion. In reality, the maximum savings before the contract's scheduled review date in November would be about $126 million — roughly 4 per cent of DOGE's claim. The inflated number came from subtracting the $428 million actually obligated from the $3.3 billion ceiling. Another example is a consulting contract at the Energy Department to help set appliance efficiency standards. DOGE listed it as canceled, claiming $166 million in savings. The department says it was reduced, not cancelled, and that the real change was lowering the ceiling by just under $100 million. No funds have been returned. Hard to measure, harder to prove Experts note that true savings from canceling contracts are difficult to calculate. Terminations can trigger extra costs such as paying for work already done, settling leases, or covering subcontractors' expenses. Those bills can take years to finalise. By law, agencies must spend the money Congress gives them, even if a contract is canceled. They can shift it to other priorities but cannot simply leave it unspent without a formal rescission from Congress. A shrinking 'wall of receipts' DOGE's online 'wall of receipts,' a public log of terminated contracts, has seen slower updates since Elon Musk left the agency in May. The page went weeks without new entries this summer. Musk has since turned on Trump, criticising a spending bill the president signed in July and promising to launch his own third party to push for deeper cuts. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD For now, DOGE's lofty savings numbers remain a staple of administration talking points. But federal records suggest the truth lies somewhere in the middle, well below the headline figures and far above zero, with the real impact still years from being known.

Trump aims for Ukraine ceasefire at Alaska summit with Putin, says Macron
Speaking after the virtual meeting between Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders, Macron said Trump was prioritising a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia AP Berlin French President Emmanuel Macron says US President Donald Trump was very clear in a meeting with European leaders that the US wants to achieve a ceasefire at the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Speaking after the virtual meeting between Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders, Macron said Trump was prioritising a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. He added that Trump had been clear that territorial issues relating to Ukraine ... will only be negotiated by the Ukrainian president. Following his meeting with the Russian leader, Trump will also seek a future trilateral meeting one involving Trump, Putin and Zelenskyy, Macron said. I think that's a very important point in this regard. And we hope that it can be held in Europe, in a neutral country that is acceptable to all parties, Macron said.
