President Trump, during Tuesday evening’s State of the Union speech, urged Congress to move the Stop Insider Trading Act — a call to bar lawmakers from profiting off non-public info — and watched in mock shock as Democrats, including progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), rose to their ft in applause.

“Let’s also ensure that members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information,” the President said, pausing to bask in a uncommon second of bipartisan reward.

And, without lacking a beat, he promptly torched Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, who is sometimes heralded as the “stock queen” on Capitol hill.

“They stood up for that. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it,” Trump quipped. “Did Nancy Pelosi stand up — if she’s here? Doubt it.”

His remark drew some hearty laughter from the GOP facet of the aisle, including from the 2 gents seated behind him during the SOTU. Vice President JD Vance noticeably laughed aloud while House Speaker Mike Johnson might be seen biting his lip and stifling his own response.

LOL Trump is the funniest President of all time, zero debate.

Members of Congress could presently buy and commerce shares and cryptocurrency, supplied they report all transactions. The base wage for Senators and Representatives is $174,000 per 12 months. Some exceptions embody the Speaker of the House ($223,500), the President professional tempore of the Senate, and the bulk and minority leaders in the House and Senate ($193,400).

Yet some members of Congress have internet worths that put them in elite standing—effectively over $100-$200 million.

Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have a mixed internet value of practically $280 million. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has beforehand, as a Democrat at the time, called out the Pelosis trading acumen as evidence that the system is “rigged.”

“We have people in positions of power to pass legislation, to enact new policies,” she has said. “They can see, ‘OK, here are the industries or companies that will benefit from this. I’m going to go and make these investments, buy this stock or that stock, or have my husband or wife do it and then make money in the process.’”

Pelosi, who has defended members of Congress who revenue from insider trading because it’s “a free-market financial system” and “they should be able to participate in that,” said she stood up and applauded Trump’s call to move the “Stop Insider Trading Act” as effectively.

“I say back to him, cause that’s what member said, look at your own self … the inference he wants to draw is there was something wrong with that, which there wasn’t. And if there was, people get prosecuted for it,” Pelosi fired back.

Word salad. Party of one.

Pelosi momentarily adjusted her enamel when GWN’s Kasie Hunt identified Warren’s response before gathering herself.

“Well, we all did (stand up),” Pelosi replied. “I did too.”

Well, until he singled her out, that is.

The former Speaker said she thinks the insider act laws will move before reverting back to, “What I’m concerned about, our democracy, which he (Trump) is destroying …”

The Stop Insider Trading Act (H.R. 7008) was launched in January by Republican Rep. Bryan Steil (WI-1) and has vital backing by House Republicans. It is presently awaiting a full House vote.

While she will be the super-stretched-thin face of congressional insider trading, Pelosi is way from the only member to have seen her wealth skyrocket on a comparatively small wage for her job. 

Trump’s emphasis on the invoice during his deal with may present momentum for faster motion, but as of the latest experiences, the Stop Insider Trading Act stays pending without a confirmed vote date. Its odds of passing will virtually assuredly plummet if Democrats regain control of the House following the midterms.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will decide the destiny of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must keep control of both chambers of Congress.
