A conservative prankster managed to sneak into a book signing with Nancy Pelosi and started asking her about her stock picks, which got him kicked out by some pretty angry liberals.
The guy, Alex Strenger, wore a mask and a shirt that said “White Dudes for Kamala” as part of his act. He started by pretending to be worried about President Trump coming back to power, telling Pelosi, “I think the only solution is for Trump to spend the rest of his life in prison.” Pelosi played along, saying, “We just have to win the election first.” But then Strenger switched it up and asked her for stock advice since September was a slow month for trading.
As security started pushing him out, he shouted, “What stocks should I buy, Nancy? You’re the best options trader of all time!” He also took a shot at Pelosi’s use of security, sarcastically questioning why she had police protection if she supports defunding them.

Before being thrown out, he yelled at the women in line to meet Pelosi, asking if they wanted to know her stock tips since she’s worth over $100 million. Most of them just yelled back for him to leave.
Pelosi’s stock trading skills have become something of a meme, with people joking that everyday folks should follow her investment moves. There’s even a social media account that tracks what she buys and sells. Pelosi’s net worth is estimated at around $106 million. Despite stepping down as Speaker in 2022, Pelosi has stayed quiet while other Democrats push for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress.
Some lawmakers, like Senator Jon Ossoff, have been working on bipartisan bills to stop Congress from trading stocks, arguing that they have access to insider info. Pelosi, however, isn’t too keen on this idea. She’s said before that Congress members should be able to participate in the free market like anyone else. This came up around the time former Senator Richard Burr was under investigation for using insider knowledge during the pandemic to sell stocks before the market crashed.
