Just a little light, locker-room market manipulation and insider trading.
He’ll argue that the industrial-scale pillaging was within his ‘official duties.’
And the Supreme Court will agree.

Well he didn’t boost their business because he bought their stock. He bought their stock because he knew he was about to boost their business.
See, TOTALLY LEGIT.

Insider trading = Political corruption!

Congress pulls the same shit. Insider trading should be a severe felony like it is for the rest of us.

**The Domestic Emoluments Clause:** This clause bars the president from receiving “any other Emolument” (financial profit or advantage) from the federal government or any individual state.
If only we had a working government.

There’s a lot of this going on and it will all come out after we give congress back to the dems this november.
Even many of Trump’s most ardent opposition will be shocked at how widespread and deep this corruption really goes.

Is he going for the most corrupt president in the history of this country or something? Because at this point, he’s doing it just for fun and because he could.

This is literal market manipulation. Anyone else would go straight to federal prison for pulling this exact kind of stunt since the SEC does not play around. But I guess those rules don’t matter when you run things so people really need to stop calling it a genius business move.

Republicans are cheaters, White House, congress, and the court. Why can’t their voters see the massive fraud
Niceguy955 on
We all think the man is demented, and failed businessman. But as a grifter, he’s meticulous: bribes in the open, lawsuites, insider trading, crypto scams, government contracts, “loans” from foreign interests, literally stealing oil, the man covers every way the presidency allowed him to enrich himself and his crime family.
That was his real goal. He could care less about Americans, or anyone else not named Trump. Republicans are just using his greed to destroy a democracy where they couldn’t win fairly.

Of course he did. All this presidency is for him is a grift and reason to stay out of jail. America is being looted and nobody is doing anything about it.

Treason, check. Bribery, check. Untold number of ethics and human rights violations, check. Other high crimes, check.

If only there were some laws against insider trading. 😒
We call this insider trading. Highly illegal.

So easy to bend him to your will with just money and praise
