Remember when repubs made President Carter give up his peanut farm?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
They are illegal, but laws are only worth the paper they’re written on if you’re willing to enforce them.
It should be illegal… for Democrats , but this is proof of how extra special smart that Trump is
MAGA logic ( as if they will ever come in contact with this story )
If congress and senate can do it, of course the President can do it.
(and let’s remember, they all get the best healthcare on Earth, and never have to pay for anything or do anything, and they only work a few months a year on top of that; the rest of the time they’re being wined and dined by lobbyists)
This is as smart as he’s ever felt about himself.
1,156? I thought the orange shitstain traded over 3,000 times.
Our nation’s motto should be “what are you going to do about it?”
Once again, many comments that didn’t read the article.
US Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who has previously sounded the alarm over Trump’s “unprecedented” trading, said on Tuesday that “it should be illegal for the president to trade individual stocks—period.”
As it is not, he has to send a 45 day notice that he doesn’t do, which is illegal.
It is illegal, always was.
It IS illegal. The law is only the law in so far as it is enforcible.
Yeah that is illegal. The rule of law is meaningless in this country though.
It should be illegal is his middle name at this point.
If he can get away with rape, he can get away with this. America has lost it’s spine.
The US never had a spine. The rich were always allowed to do this crap.
Show me ONE point in history where the rich and powerful were held accountable in the US.
We could stop handing them over so much money
Fdr
At one point we taxed them a lot more…
It’s all I’ve got.
Yup. Then they started influencing politics more and more, got those taxes reduced, all the social programs halted, and now what you got is a shitty system that churns out factory workers the rich don’t even need anymore.
That’s really all you need, and all it takes.
Not only rape, but child rape.
It is illegal. The insider trading laws should be enforced. Presidential immunity does not apply to stock trading. Hopefully we will at some point get a normal government again and some of the ill-gotten gains can be clawed back.
My parents say that he must be doing something right because if he’s wrong then why isn’t he fined or charged with anything?
I’m sorry your parents are stupid.
I don’t blame them too much, they’re immigrants who consume the american diaspora propaganda. Usual stuff conflating fascism and corruption as communism and vice versa. Typical China bad rhetoric and Pro-Israel propaganda ofc.
I’ll cut them some slack for being immigrants and maybe not being used to our brand of propaganda, but someone is going to have to have a talk with them about questioning sources and discerning fact from opinion.
And they should read “A People’s History of the United States.” You should too if you haven’t. It’s literally always been the same, it’s just that historically dissemination of information was more difficult and the ruling class was quite a bit smarter.
I’m sorry you have to deal with explaining things to them. It must be hard work.
Just remember, you’ll get to choose their nursing home.
Because “AI, Big Oil, and Weapons-Makers” are paying (lobbying) those that can impeach him. It’s you and your parents’ job to make them all accountable by voting in the mid-terms.
