Nancy Pelosi Melts Down on Live TV After Seeing Trump on Screen [WATCH]

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi erupted during a live interview on Friday when footage of President Donald Trump appeared on screen as she discussed the ongoing government shutdown.

Pelosi joined Spectrum News’ The Rush Hour with host Giselle Fernandez to discuss the budget impasse now in its 31st day.

The shutdown, which began over stalled negotiations in Congress, has centered on spending priorities between Senate Democrats and the White House.

During the interview, Pelosi was criticizing President Trump’s leadership when a clip of him walking across the South Lawn of the White House was displayed on screen.

The sight appeared to agitate the former Speaker, who broke from her comments to address the image directly.

“He is the worst president for children! There he is walking! The worst! Hi!” Pelosi said, waving at the monitor.

“The worst president for anybody, any president in our history.”

Pelosi referred to Trump as a “very, very dangerous man,” claiming that his policies have harmed American families.

She also accused him of taking “food out of the mouths of babies,” a reference to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding dispute.

The comments came as the Democratic caucus in the Senate has repeatedly voted against funding measures to reopen the government, citing disagreements over provisions related to healthcare and immigration programs.

Republicans have argued that Democrats’ refusal to advance temporary funding legislation is prolonging the shutdown.

Pelosi’s latest remarks follow a series of increasingly tense public appearances in recent weeks.

In a separate interview with NBC Boston last month, she drew attention for using explicit language when discussing negotiations with the White House.

Asked by a reporter if she had confidence in ongoing talks, Pelosi responded, “I have no idea. Going into it, let’s review what the President has said. What we’re talking about is meeting the health care needs of the American people, little babies, moms with breast cancer, dads with a stroke, and all of that. The President has said, I hear what they’re saying. It’s all unserious and ridiculous.”

She continued, “In fact, I’ve listened to their sh*t, and I tell them to go f**k themselves.”

The exchange marked one of the most direct and profane moments from Pelosi since leaving the Speaker’s office in early 2023.

Her comments drew criticism from some in her own party, who have urged Democrats to lower the temperature in public rhetoric amid heightened political tensions.

Friday’s remarks also come amid mounting pressure on Congress to end the shutdown, which has affected multiple federal agencies and delayed pay for thousands of workers.

Senate Republicans have introduced measures to restore funding for key programs, including SNAP, but Democratic leadership has continued to block passage.

During her appearance on The Rush Hour, Pelosi reiterated her belief that Trump’s leadership style and policies remain harmful to the country.

“He is a very, very dangerous man,” she said, emphasizing her view that his presidency has been damaging “for children and families” across the United States.
