'How are you feeling now, Nancy?': Trump blasts 'disgusting degenerate' Pelosi, makes serious claim about husband
Synopsis Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul Pelosi, on Saturday, accusing them of profiting from 'inside information'. Trump claimed that Paul made money off "inside information" in a post shared on his Truth Social account. It wasn't immediately clear what led to Trump's scathing post about the Pelosis. NYT News Service 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. ALSO READ: Trump teases major presser to 'stop violent crime' and make Washington DC 'one of the safest' cities in the world 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.

Lawmakers are not required to publicly divulge their net worth, which means it is unclear exactly how much she is 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.

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 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 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.

JD Vance says Ukraine peace deal unlikely to satisfy either side
US Vice President JD Vance said a negotiated settlement between Russia and Ukraine is unlikely to satisfy either side, and any peace deal will likely leave both Moscow and Kyiv 'unhappy.' He said the US is aiming for a settlement both countries can accept. 'It's not going to make anybody super happy. Both the Russians and the Ukrainians, probably, at the end of the day, are going to be unhappy with it,' he said in a Fox News interview that aired Sunday. US President Donald Trump said on Friday he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15 in Alaska to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. Trump said Russia and Ukraine were close to a ceasefire deal that could end the three-and-a-half-year conflict, possibly requiring Ukraine to surrender significant territory. Zelenskyy, however, said Saturday that Ukraine cannot violate its constitution on territorial issues, adding, 'Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupiers.' In the Fox News interview recorded on Friday, Vance said the United States was working to schedule talks between Putin, Zelenskyy, and Trump, but he did not think it would be productive for Putin to meet with Zelenskyy before speaking with Trump. 'We're at a point now where we're trying to figure out, frankly, scheduling and things like that, around when these three leaders could sit down and discuss an end to this conflict,' he said.

U.S. Vice President Vance says Ukraine peace deal unlikely to satisfy either side
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said a negotiated settlement between Russia and Ukraine was unlikely to satisfy either side, and that any peace deal will likely leave both Moscow and Kyiv "unhappy." He said the U.S. is aiming for a settlement both countries can accept. "It's not going to make anybody super happy. Both the Russians and the Ukrainians, probably, at the end of the day, are going to be unhappy with it," he said on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday (August 8, 2025) he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15 in Alaska to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. Mr. Trump said Russia and Ukraine were close to a ceasefire deal that could end the three-and-a-half-year-old conflict, possibly requiring Ukraine to surrender significant territory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, however, said on Saturday that Ukraine cannot violate its constitution on territorial issues, adding, "Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupiers." In the Fox News interview recorded on Friday, Mr. Vance said the United States was working to schedule talks between Mr. Putin, Mr. Zelenskyy and Mr. Trump, but he did not think it would be productive for Mr. Putin to meet with Mr. Zelenskyy before speaking with Mr. Trump. "We're at a point now where we're trying to figure out, frankly, scheduling and things like that, around when these three leaders could sit down and discuss an end to this conflict," he said. A White House official said late on Saturday that Trump was open to a summit with both leaders, but that right now the White House was planning for the bilateral meeting requested by Mr. Putin.
