[Trump's State of the Union Address Criticizes Pelosi] US President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address to Congress on February 24, urging legislation to ban members of Congress from engaging in insider trading in securities. He specifically asked his arch-rival, former Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, "Did she stand up?" Trump said, "Let's make sure no member of Congress profits corruptly through insider trading." When he saw some Democratic members of Congress stand and applaud his remarks, the Republican president said, "They stood up, it's unbelievable." "Did Nancy Pelosi stand up? If she was here," Trump added. Trump and Pelosi have a long-standing feud. Pelosi presided over two impeachment proceedings against Trump in 2019 and 2021. Trump and Republicans have accused Pelosi and her husband of using their political positions to engage in insider trading for huge profits. In February 2020, during Trump's first State of the Union address, then-Speaker of the House Pelosi immediately tore up her copy of Trump's prepared remarks in public after he finished speaking.
