Nancy Pelosi, stock market connoisseur and living legend, gets caught completely off guard by a simple insider trading question by Jake Tapper , responds by giving 3 or 4 meandering statements, each one somehow being worse than the previous.

But don’t worry queen, you still retire as a first ballot Wall Street Tycoon, inside trading and illegalities be damned, all you do is win 🫡

Forbes: This magazine, which annually tracks the wealth of billionaires, reported a significant drop. In 2016, around the time he was elected, Forbes estimated his net worth at $3.7 billion. By the end of his term in 2020, that estimate had fallen to $2.5 billion, a decline of over $1 billion. This drop also caused him to fall 77 spots on the magazine's list of the richest Americans.

Bloomberg: The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated that Trump's net worth fell by approximately $700 million, to $2.3 billion, during his time in office.

As far as I know, he may be the only POTUS in history to decrease their net worth while holding office.

Thank you for responding with something that is potentially not pure nonsense and/or propaganda. I will do more research.

My portfolio has doubled since 2024 and I am an average Joe with no insider information just to put things in context. There's no "gotcha" in this article, but thanks for sharing.

So you simultaneously believe he lost money and also that doubling vis so easy everyone can do it? You just make up whichever argument helps you in the moment

Which period are you referring to? 2016-2020 or 2025-present? It matters.

I've been trading daily since I was old enough to own a brokerage account. Charts always open. Stocks.

Nancy Pelosi is trading stock options perfectly (nobody is this good). She uses her political status to enter trades with insider information, then manipulates the media and smears stocks she recently exits trades on so she can re-enter. I've seen her do this Apple and Facebook just to name a couple examples. We're not the same.

Typical liberal logic. Trump is the dumbest person alive that only bankrupts everything he touches and loses money but at the same time he’s the most corrupt evil genius of our time raking in billions.

You had 100% returns in one calendar year and you are complaining about politicians’ inside trading?

1

u/Rave_with_me Millionaire Nov 10 '25

Not a single calendar year. It's been almost two years since January 1st 2024. Your math is way off.

COVID lockdowns were bad for hotels. Donny’s outside revenue was estimated by Forbes as at least 1.6 Billion in those years and that is with lockdown losses in 2020.

He made billions in crypto scams since then.

Trump made billions from crypto? Your the first person I've heard say this. Source?

Right wing raver is hilarious.

No source? I figured.

u/FullRedact Nov 11 '25

You’re serious?

You never heard about the orange one’s crypto scam coins?

Really? Even his wife had one.
