Pelosi, the 82-year-old speaker of the US Congress, has been manipulating power and making waves in the political arena for many years, and has seized a large amount of political capital and personal wealth by virtue of political calculations. And this time she frantically staged a farce of visits, which is inseparable from her selfish desire for "banknotes" and "votes".
Money-aggling maniacs
Pelosi insisted on staging a farce of visiting Taiwan, and her family was making a series of scandals such as lending power to amass wealth and drunk driving, which were questioned and criticized in the United States.
According to a number of US media reports, Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi has become a prominent figure in the US stock market in the past two years, and his investment vision can always be at the forefront of the stock market. In 2020, the return on investment of the Pelosi couple was as high as 56%, while the return on investment of "stock god" Buffett was only 26% in the same period. By doing so, pelosi's family has made a net worth of more than 100 million.
Pelosi was asked at a press conference if her husband had used her position to speculate in insider stocks, which she hastily denied and left in a hurry.
And the "nemesis" of Democrat Pelosi, former Republican President Trump, also used her crazy money as a reason to once again denounce her as a "madman".
According to the U.S. website "Open Secret", Pelosi's assets were $31 million in 2008, and surged to $114 million in 2018. According to the US "Market Watch" website, Pelosi and her family bought a total of $12 million worth of stocks last year, ranking sixth among U.S. congressmen in terms of the amount.
"Double standard" drama fine
There is no shortage of "drama spirits" in the US political arena, and Pelosi's performances are still often eye-popping, vividly interpreting the chaos in the US political arena.
Pelosi and then-President Trump did not have a lot of "drama": they fought in spite of their faces on important occasions such as the president's State of the Union address to Congress, Trump refused to shake hands, and Pelosi directly tore off copies of each other's speeches. They put the party above the public interest, became the protagonist of the longest shutdown farce of some agencies of the federal government, and played the "reality show" of the failure of the American system.
As a "drama master", Pelosi's most criticized is her "well-known double standard" hypocritical face: she criticized the Trump administration's ineffective response to the new crown epidemic, accused Trump of not wearing a mask, but she herself was exposed to violate the epidemic prevention regulations to go to the salon to do hairstyles and not wear masks. She met with visiting anti-China rioters in Washington and called the violent march in Hong Kong a "beautiful landscape," but called the violence in the US Capitol Hill riots "an attack on American democracy."
Ugly reality SHOW
Pelosi comes from a family of politicians in Baltimore, Maryland. His father, Thomas D'Alessandro II, a former member of the House of Representatives and mayor of Baltimore, was forced to retire from the Md. government due to a political contribution scandal while running for governor of Maryland.
After many years in politics, Pelosi was unashamed in the face of the media: "I am the best at legislation." "I have a lot of fans."
However, the truth is "bone-chilling". For example, Pelosi's representative district includes San Francisco, California. In recent years, social problems such as local crime rates and homelessness have been deteriorating, and the cost of living has continued to rise. Local voters told U.S. media they were disappointed by Pelosi's job performance. Not even doing a good job of your own "home camp", let alone at the federal level? Pelosi and his ilk have only used so-called "democracy" as cheap tools and disguises. Democrat Shahid Bata has been outspoken in criticism that Pelosi is a "corrupt oligarch" who caters only to the elite.
As the US media reported that the US midterm elections are approaching, the Democratic Party is in a deep decline, and Pelosi is trying to get "political extra points" by playing the "Taiwan card" and leaving a so-called political legacy.
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green denounced Pelosi on twitter, saying that she was willing to take the risk of going to Taiwan only to help her husband, Paul Pelosi, invest in the chip industry for the benefit of the near future, and "Americans are tired of such a person who is addicted to self-interest, who has held power for decades throughout the collapse of the country."
The United States is currently facing record-breaking high inflation, increasing economic recession risks, racial discrimination, gun violence and other chronic diseases are difficult to return, the people represented by Pelosi only care about "money" and "votes", throw pots at each other, do nothing can be described as deeply resentful.
Pelosi's stage performance is another bankruptcy of American politics, American diplomacy and American credibility, destined to be spurned by the world and swept into the garbage by history.
