Per Pelosi:

The United States is in a crisis of conscience.

We have a self-crowned king as president, a Congress that has deposed itself, and a Supreme Court that has gone out of control.

Per Pelosi recently publicly criticized the United States for being in a "crisis of conscience," directly targeting three core issues: the president's expansion of power, the Congress's inability to function, and the Supreme Court's loss of control.

Core criticism content: The U.S. political system is completely broken down.

Expansion of presidential power: Per Pelosi accused the president of "crowning himself king" and attempting to break constitutional constraints to expand executive power.

Paralysis of congressional functions: She criticized Congress for "disarming itself," losing its ability to check and balance, and failing to effectively supervise government decisions.

Supreme Court losing control: She criticized the Supreme Court for becoming a "rogue court," with the principle of judicial independence being undermined.

She summarized this systemic crisis as "the collapse of rites and norms," believing the country is facing a regression in values.

This statement is a continuation of the long-standing conflict between the two:

In 2019, Pelosi led the impeachment of Trump, and in 2020, she tore up his State of the Union address in public;

Trump retaliated against Pelosi by calling her "insane" and "corrupt," accusing her husband of making money through insider trading.

Per Pelosi's and Trump's mutual accusations reflect the fundamental opposition between the Democratic and Republican parties on issues such as immigration and judiciary; government shutdown risks and policy gridlock have become the norm.

Per Pelosi's criticism focuses on institutional crises, but her personal political legacy (such as promoting healthcare reform) and controversial actions (double standards on stock trading and Hong Kong comments) intertwine, making this statement both a continuation of political maneuvering and another footnote to the fractures in American society.
