A sitting president running up over 3,700 trades in a single quarter is absolutely mind-boggling. Wall Street asset managers are literally on the record saying this looks less like a personal portfolio and more like a high-frequency algorithmic hedge fund. The administration can hide behind the ‘independent third-party broker’ excuse all they want, but the absolute reality is that he didn’t set up a genuine blind trust. Even if he isn’t pushing the ‘buy’ button himself, he knows exactly what he owns while simultaneously signing executive policies, granting export green lights, and awarding billion-dollar federal contracts that directly pump those specific stocks. It is a complete and total destruction of the public trust.

This is an embarrassment to the dignity of the office of President of the United States, not to mention illegal, unethical, immoral, and completely corrupt. Donald Trump should be behind bars, and his job title should be “license plate manufacturing associate.”

News reports keep telling me what Trump said, which is TACO when it makes sense at all. His trades are the true reflection of his intent and should be reported instead. You can bet the Iranians are watching. When Trump first said he was talking to the Iranians the Ayatollah said they weren’t and he was just manipulating the stock market. Its a bum deal for the people up the pointy end. The missiles are coming down, triggered by the enemy reading the Commander in Chief’s corrupt deals.

Yes, alarming that a numerously convicted fraudster is defrauding the US. So very very surprising!

That should be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention since 2016. He’s a blatent grifter. Always has been, always will be.

This man avoided jail and is living his absolute best life. All he had to do was get elected to the highest position in the country. You don’t think he’d lie cheat and steal to get it.

It’s ridiculous that I’m held to a higher standard when it comes to insider trading than the President of the United States is.

Alarming pattern or blatant corruption? Pretty clear

You cant exempt politicians from insider trading regulations, and then be alarmed when they engage in insider trading.
They’re doing it openly, because there’s nothing to hide.

If Clinton, Obama, or Biden had done this even once the media would have been all over them like ants at a picnic. The media’s bias is sickening.

Everyone knows what he’s doing. There’s nothing anyone can do to stop him until he’s out of office. Keep track of the criminal offenses and hopefully someday we can do something about it.

Nice, Economy you got there …
it be a shame if a near accidental U.S. Military conflict happened to it.
There might be an alarming pattern …
if you don’t pay for “Business Protection” fees.
Russian Mafia has this beautiful word called “Tariff”; have you heard of this word?
Maybe, the U.S. government is now a criminal enterprise engaging in economic terrorism?
It would be lame to say it has always been this way.
First time (in our life times) domestic, foreign policy and paying your taxes does not do a damn bit of good for the average American.
First time where the masks are off and the corruption is out in the open.
Wars are now declared without even the tiniest bit of factual pretext or reasonable objectives presented to the American people. Just presumptions from an authoritarian regime out for personal enrichment.

The trades were perfectly legal, and according to the Supreme Court the President’s actions were official and therefore all of the stock manipulation is legal as well. Thanks SCOTUS.

It isn’t an alarming pattern. Overt corruption.
