Trump’s most famous opponent: Nancy Pelosi announces her retirement in 2027

The Democratic representative announced Pelosi has the most famous shot against the US President Donald Trump, when she tore up a copy of his speech paper after he delivered the annual State of the Union address in 2020, and also threatened to beat him when his supporters stormed the Capitol building in 2021.
Pelosi, 85, said on social media today, Thursday, in a video clip addressed to the residents of San Francisco, which she has represented since 1987: "I have truly enjoyed representing your voice in Congress"

The most prominent opponents of the Republicans

Donald Trump’s first term (2017-2021), Pelosi, who is from California, became one of the most prominent opponents of the Republicans, first as minority leader in the House of Representatives, and then starting in 2019 as Speaker of the House of Representatives, after the Democrats regained the majority in it.
While assuming this position in which she often works behind the scenes, and which she previously held between the years 2007 and 2011, Nancy became Pelosi is one of the key leadership figures in the American political scene.

Pelosi, who is accustomed to conflicts between competing parties and also between members of one party, is largely credited with approving the health care reform that was accomplished by former President Barack Obama in 2010, as well as Joe Biden’s huge investment plans in 2021.

Tearing up Trump’s speech paper

Pelosi imprinted on people’s minds with one of the most famous shots from Donald Trump’s first presidential term, when she appeared with a frowning face. While she was sitting behind the Republican president while she was listening to him deliver the annual State of the Union address in 2020, with clear signs of discomfort on her.
As soon as Trump finished his speech that day, she tore up a copy of his speech in front of the astonished members of the Council, and later explained that with this gesture she wanted to destroy "A pile of lies".

Mutual hostility with Trump

But one of the most prominent stations in her career was recorded on January 6, 2021, the day of the attack on the Capitol building by Trump supporters.
That day, when her team informed her of Donald Trump’s intention to join the rioters who were about to attack the Capitol building, a plan that the president eventually abandoned, Pelosi said in a loud voice: "If he comes, I will beat him badly. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time"
She added, clenching her teeth: "I’ll beat him up, I’ll go to jail, but I’ll be happy with that"
Donald Trump did not hesitate to attack Pelosi, as he always called her a nickname "Crazy Nancy"And he tried to show her as a clearer embodiment of the bad politicians he says he is fighting.
