"They stood up for that. I can't believe. I can't believe it. Did Nancy Pelosi stand up, if she was here? Doubt it. Pass the Stop Insider Trading Act without delay. Trump said on Tuesday, using the moment of Democratic applause to pivot toward criticism of Pelosi's family stock trading portfolio."
"I wasn't sure even if anyone on that side would applaud. I'm very impressed. Thank you. I'm very impressed. Trump expressed surprise at receiving Democratic support for his 401(k) matching contribution proposal during the State of the Union address."
During his State of the Union address, President Trump proposed a plan providing matching contributions to 401(k) retirement accounts for private sector workers, highlighting disparities between private and public sector retirement savings. The announcement garnered unexpected applause from several Democratic senators, including Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons, surprising Trump. He subsequently challenged Democrats to pass the Stop Insider Trading Act, directing criticism at Rep. Nancy Pelosi regarding her family's stock trading activities. Pelosi has previously expressed support for legislation banning congressional stock trading. The interaction reflected ongoing tensions between Trump and Pelosi, referencing their contentious history at previous State of the Union addresses.
