'She's an evil woman' - Trump calls fmr House Speaker, Pelosi 'tremendous liability' to US
Former U.S. President Donald Trump launched an attack on Nancy Pelosi on Thursday, November 6, shortly after the 85-year-old former Speaker of the House of Representatives announced her retirement from Congress.
“I think she's an evil woman. I'm glad she's retiring,” Trump told reporters. “I think she did the country a great service by retiring. I think she was a tremendous liability for the country. And I thought she was an evil woman who did a poor job, who cost the country a lot in damages and in reputation. I thought she was terrible.”
Pelosi, a dominant force in Democratic politics for decades, has frequently clashed with Trump. In response to his latest remarks, she described him as a “vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the earth.”
Pelosi served two historic terms as Speaker, from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023, making her the first woman to hold the position.
Her retirement marks the end of an era in U.S. politics, closing a career defined by deep partisan battles, landmark legislative victories and her position as a central figure in Trump-era confrontations on Capitol Hill.
