US President Donald Trump has reacted to the retirement announcement of Nancy Pelosi, the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House. Pelosi, who has represented San Francisco in Congress for nearly four decades, confirmed she would not seek reelection after her term concludes in 2027.

In a press conference, Trump shared his thoughts on Pelosi’s decision, stating that he believes she has done the country a great service by retiring. He described her as an “evil woman” who has been a “tremendous liability” for the country, causing damage and harm to its reputation. Trump’s comments came after Pelosi recently referred to him as “the worst thing on the face of the earth” in an interview with CNN.

Pelosi’s retirement announcement was met with reactions from various political figures, including former US President Barack Obama, who thanked her for her leadership. Trump’s son also responded to Pelosi’s comments, mocking her by saying “Trump broke her.”

Pelosi was first elected to represent San Francisco in 1987 and has since become a prominent figure in the Democratic Party. She was chosen as Speaker of the House in 2007, becoming the first woman to hold the office. In her retirement message, Pelosi expressed her gratitude to her constituents and reflected on her time in Congress, highlighting her achievements, including her support for the Affordable Care Act.

As Pelosi prepares to leave office, she has stated that she looks forward to her final year representing San Francisco. Her retirement marks the end of an era in US politics, and her legacy is likely to be remembered for her trailblazing role as the first female Speaker of the House. The reaction to her retirement announcement highlights the divisive nature of US politics, with differing opinions on her impact and legacy.
