Let’s cut through the hype: For years, we’ve heard the fantasy that American-style democracy would somehow fix everything in Hong Kong—even magically purify those in power. But if integrity really came with the ballot box, American officials should be saints. Instead, it’s a parade of self-dealing.
Pelosi’s investment windfall proved one thing—power and profit go hand-in-hand in US politics. American outlets exposed her 170-fold stock increase, rivaling the likes of Buffett, but with documented examples of insider trading.
Take Nancy Pelosi—former House Speaker and the infamous disruptor of Hong Kong. She just announced retirement next year. But the real headline: Pelosi’s been exposed for turning $130 million in stock profits over her political career, dwarfing Warren Buffett’s returns.
Pelosi isn’t winning through shrewd investing, but thanks to political insider trading. In American politics, those with power swim in money—the receipts back it up.
Pelosi’s Stock Market Game
Pelosi didn’t just dominate Congress—she owned the investment scene too. Dubbed the “Queen of Capitol Hill,” she’s picked up other nicknames over the years, like “Political Stock Market Goddess” and “She-Wolf of Wall Street.” Why? Pelosi and her husband trade stocks with ruthless speed and precision, consistently landing big profits. Their trades are so sharp and frequent that a crowd of retail investors tracks her every move—“How Pelosi Picks Stocks” has become a must-watch market signal.
It’s no exaggeration. The New York Post reports Pelosi and her husband Paul turned a $610,000–$785,000 portfolio into $133.7 million—growing 170 times over 37 years, with average annual returns of 14.5%. Bloomberg has the numbers: Pelosi’s investments returned 54% last year, demolishing the S&P 500 and every major hedge fund. People on X joke that Trump should hire Pelosi to invest for the American public—we’d be millionaires in half a year. The numbers aren’t hiding.
Pelosi is the ultimate example of a politician who gets filthy rich on the inside track. Her family’s estimated assets are up to $280 million—she started with just $3 million. Her trading record beats Warren Buffett. So did she outwit the ‘Oracle of Omaha’?
Trump didn’t mince words in Time magazine: “She got rich through insider trading.” Republican National Committee’s Kiersten Pels called Pelosi America’s most successful insider trader, saying any ordinary person would be retiring in jail.
Trump accused Pelosi of outrageous corruption, cashing in with inside info. But let’s not kid ourselves—he’s just a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
The Timeline Doesn’t Lie
These aren’t wild accusations. Take 2022: Congress passed the CHIPS Act, pumping subsidies into chip companies. Just before, Pelosi’s husband dropped $5 million on 20,000 Nvidia shares. After the law, Nvidia soared. Coincidence? GOP lawmakers call it out—Pelosi clearly knew the CHIPS Act’s progress, and related trades reek of insider dealing.
Here’s another: Over two years ago, right before the DOJ moved to charge Google with monopoly, Pelosi dumped 30,000 shares of Google’s parent company. The timing says all you need to know.
Pelosi’s stock deals remain untouched by regulation. American media spells it out—she and Paul trade big and fast, dozens of times a year, no one watching. Only now is Congress even proposing a law to stop lawmakers trading individual stocks—named, hilariously, the “Pelosi Act.” But with Pelosi leaving Congress in weeks, new rules won’t touch her.
“World Model” or Cautionary Tale?
Trump and the GOP hammer her for insider trading, but let’s not pretend they’re clean. As the Chinese saying goes: “Those who have walked a hundred steps laughing at those who walked fifty.” Trump pushes policies boosting crypto, then his family clocks billions in profit. If he’s only second place in insider dealing, no one dares call themselves first.
As for the rest? Media calculations reveal: in one year alone—2022—Congressional stock trading clocked $355 million. Power means profit for everyone in DC. No exceptions.
These stories cut deeper than any slogan. America touts its democracy as a global template, exporting it abroad with missionary zeal. Yet behind the PR, it’s a system stuffed with corruption, rotted from the inside. The facts speak.

What Say You?

The US-Israeli war on Iran has now ground on for two weeks. And guess what’s the most jaw-dropping part of this entire conflict? Trump decided to go to war on pure gut instinct, consulting only a handful of advisers — chief among them his son-in-law Jared Kushner — with apparently zero contingency plan for Iran's response.
The Strait of Hormuz blockade is case in point: Trump has been completely paralyzed, leaving the war effort in shambles. Facing this disaster, he's doing what he always does — refusing to own it. Instead, he's throwing Kushner under the bus, saying "based on what he told me, I thought Iran was going to attack the United States." The implication is stark: his son-in-law may have fed him bad intelligence that dragged America into war.
Trump’s Iran war is falling apart. He now blames son-in-law Kushner (right), saying Kushner’s intel pushed him to strike.
The reality: Kushner, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, and the rest of the White House's so-called "Jewish clique" were the key architects of this conflict — openly siding with Israel while dragging the rest of the world into the wreckage.
When the war kicked off, Trump was riding high. He was convinced that America's overwhelming military firepower would bring Iran to its knees within days.
Envoy Witkoff (left) is also in his sights — another key player in the White House “Jewish clique” driving Middle East policy.
He badly miscalculated. Iran did way more than just holding the line — it hit back hard and relentlessly, pushing the situation to the edge of Trump's control. The Strait of Hormuz remains firmly in Iranian military hands, and Washington has no answer. Reports say shipping companies have begged the US Navy for warship escorts, only to be flatly turned down — too few navy ships, risks too high. It is a humiliating display of impotence.
With the strait sealed shut, global oil and gas supply chains are in chaos and prices keep climbing. US allies are seething, and it's only a matter of time before that anger boils over at home too. Caught in a catastrophe of his own making, Trump is working two angles at once — engineering a face-saving exit while furiously offloading blame. This time, the scapegoats he has chosen are Kushner and Witkoff.
A few days ago, Trump told reporters his decision to go to war was built on what Kushner and Witkoff had told him — intelligence that made him believe "I thought [Iran] was going to attack us", and something needed to be done. Translation: if their advice was wrong, the blood is on their hands, not his.
What Kushner Actually Told Trump
So what exactly did Kushner and Witkoff tell him? The picture is coming into focus. Shortly before hostilities began, the two men flew to Geneva to negotiate with Iranian representatives. On their return, they briefed Trump, reporting that Iran had claimed to possess enough enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear warheads — and that both men believed Iran could use those weapons to strike the United States. Trump later told Fox News the US had no choice but to act pre-emptively. His analogy: in a gunfight, the gunman has to draw first.
Now that the war has sunk into a quagmire, Trump is leaning on that same briefing to explain why he "felt" Iran was about to strike — and to justify his rush to war. The subtext is impossible to miss: they may have fed him bad intelligence, and he would never have acted so recklessly on his own.
Whether or not Kushner actually misled his father-in-law, the fact that Trump launched a war on his son-in-law's word alone is breathtaking in its recklessness. Democratic lawmakers have said so bluntly: a president who bypasses the CIA, the NSA, and the entire US intelligence apparatus — choosing instead to act on the advice of a family member and a tight inner circle — and then drags the country into a costly, deadly war that harms innocents and devastates allies, has a serious problem of judgement.
There's another layer of absurdity that demands scrutiny. Kushner is Jewish, and his family business carries deep, entangled financial ties to Israel. His father is a close personal friend of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
There is every reason to believe that the intelligence and advice Kushner delivers to Trump tilts in Israel's favour — and that he may be actively steering Trump's decision-making toward Israeli objectives. Whose interests he puts first is not a difficult question to answer.
The "Jewish Clique" at the Core
Chinese Mainland commentator "Chairman Tu" has written a sharp exposé of the White House "Jewish clique" and its stranglehold on American policy. Kushner tops the list — a five-star inner-circle figure in terms of proximity to Trump. Second is Middle East envoy Witkoff, also Jewish, a real estate magnate with equally tight financial ties to Israel. Third is Commerce Secretary Lutnick, who also wields meaningful influence over Trump's Middle East agenda.
This "Jewish clique" at the heart of American power is the single greatest force behind Trump's decision to go to war with Iran. They have covertly helped Israel pursue its goal of destroying Iran, while dragging the rest of the world into the wreckage — forcing everyone to pay an enormous price for a war that was reckless, absurd, and entirely avoidable.
