To say that the retirement of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the end of an era would be a profound understatement. Her four decades of service to her constituents and country, culminating in becoming the first woman to rise to the Speakership, will be recorded in American history as an unprecedented achievement.

Among the things that Pelosi will be relieved from in her retirement, are the constant, infantile insults hurled at her by Donald Trump, who is seething with jealousy and a maniacal obsession for vengeance. Trump’s attacks are typically fueled by lies and personal animus. He rarely mentions her name without appending “crooked” or “crazy” to it. And he makes up “scandals” that have no basis in reality.

After hearing about Pelosi’s intention to retire, Trump was asked by Peter Doocy of Fox News for a comment. And true to form, Trump exhibited his world-class aversion to civility and diplomacy. He raged that…

“The retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America. She was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things for our country. She was rapidly losing control of her party, and it was never coming back. I’m very honored she impeached me twice and failed miserably twice. Nancy Pelosi is a highly overrated politician.”

There is literally nothing in that rant that contains even a shred of truth. Pelosi presided over some of the most productive years of Congress. She did not “lose control,” she passed it on. And her management of the two impeachments of Trump were both successful, as far as their progress in the House of Representatives is concerned.

However, no one should be surprised by Trump’s nauseating remarks that explicitly accuse Pelosi of criminality, albeit without evidence or even a citation of an actual crime. It is just his congenital callousness and habitual hatred that drives everything he does.

To be sure, Pelosi has had some harsh words for Trump at times. She recently described him as “a vile creature,” elaborating that he is…

“The worst thing on the face of the Earth…Because he’s the president of the United States, and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States. In fact, he’s turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court. He’s abolished the House of Representatives. He’s chilled the press.”

It’s hard to argue with that. Although, Pelosi has some extraordinarily moving justification for her negative feelings about Trump. Three years ago, when her husband Paul was the victim of a near fatal attack in their home, Trump made crude jokes about it for the entertainment of the cult followers at his rallies.

When Trump wasn’t laughing at an attempted murder, he was baselessly accusing Pelosi of financial fraud or some unexplained malfeasance related to the January 6th insurrection that he incited, and that was being investigated by Congress.

For her part, Pelosi released an inspiring video that summarized some of her tenure in Congress, her love for her country, and her devotion to public service. It was a touching recollection of a long career that was filled with the sort of dignity and honor that only a true patriot can muster. She said in part that…

“My message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power. We have made history. We have made progress. We have always led the way. And now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”
