Trump celebrates Nadler retirement with scathing Truth Social post
President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York on Friday morning, labeling him a “psychopathic nut job” and “one of the most disgusting Congressmen in USA History” in a post on Truth Social. This came just days after Nadler announced that he would not seek re-election in 2026.
In the post, Trump declared, “Jerry Nadler, one of the most disgusting Congressmen in USA History is, at long last, calling it ‘quits’ – He’s finally leaving Congress!” He went on to criticize Nadler for opposing him during his time as a New York City developer and as President, where Nadler, along with Nancy Pelosi, led efforts to impeach him twice.
“It will be a great day for the U.S.A. when Nadler, a pathetic lightweight, is out of office and leaves our beautiful, and NOW VERY SAFE, Washington, D.C. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump added.
Nadler responded to Trump’s comments in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, dismissing the attacks and calling Trump a “twice impeached president, convicted felon, and chief insurrectionist.”
Despite Trump’s criticism, Nadler has served in the U.S. House of Representatives for over three decades. In a statement issued earlier this week, Nadler announced that he would not seek re-election in 2026, bringing an end to his 50 years of continuous elected public service to the people of New York.
As the political landscape continues to shift, the race for Nadler’s seat in New York is already heating up, with potential candidates, including heirs of prominent political families, considering running for the position. The departure of Nadler marks the end of an era in New York politics, and the beginning of a new chapter for the district.
The legacy of Jerry Nadler and the impact of his decision to step down will undoubtedly shape the future of New York politics. As the political landscape evolves, it will be interesting to see who emerges as the next representative for the district and what changes they will bring to the table.
Only time will tell how Nadler’s departure will impact the political landscape in New York and beyond.
