Trump officials trading on info not yet announced?

Say it isn’t so!

Trump himself profiting off of his tariff game? Nahhh!

Make of this what you will (a nothing burger with a side of fake news no doubt, lolling). But Trump’s tweetering seems inappropriate.

DOGE wants to go after elected officials trading practices. Does it still?

Looks ducky. Walks ducky. Quacks ducky. Was Orange Monday was a scheme to rob regular Americans and line the pockets of the MAGA insiders?

You figure it out.

Democratic senators call for probe into possible insider trading over Trump tariff change


Two Democratic senators are demanding answers from the White House over serious concerns that President Donald Trump's rollbacks on his tariffs and his social media posts earlier Wednesday may have been part of insider trading among White House allies.

Sens. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., sent a letter to Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Thursday asking for an investigation into potential conflicts of interest over the actions that took place Wednesday.

Hours before Trump announced he was rolling back tariffs to 10% to all countries except China, which sent the stock market soaring, he posted on Truth Social: "BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!" and "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT."

"This sequence of events raises grave legal and ethics concerns. The President, his family, and his advisors are uniquely positioned to be privy to and take advantage of non-public information to inform their investment decisions," the senators said in their letter.

The White House has not immediately commented.

The senators asked the Office of Government Ethics to probe whether any White House or executive branch officials, to include special government employees, were informed of the announcement in advance and what financial transactions were made by officials with knowledge of nonpublic information.
Some insider trading. Trump announces his every move on X or Truth Social on a daily basis.

He even told all of the Wall Street Gurus, and everybody else, to not panic. They did, the Market plummeted, opening opportunities to those with enough sense to realize Trump knows what he is doing to pick up some bargains.

Funny how the Dems have turned a blind eye to this for all these years. Now they think they can get Trump but it's going to backfire on them.

Pitiful idea by the Democrats. They are stooping as low as the MAGA conspiracy believers.

Or 51 “Wall Street Experts” to sign a letter saying it’s insider trading
Dems crying about "insider trading"? LOLLING. The usual suspects are crying all over the board after their predicted collapse never happened.

with the Trump circle's habit of self enrichment off of government, a high probability of insider trading exists. an OIG or another ethics-focused independent agency investigation should happen. if the usual crooks come out clean, good for them. in that case, they would have had nothing to worry about.

but if they did it, the bad apples should be prosecuted.

I believe I mentioned that some democrats could have sold Tesla short before they attacked Musk. I don't know about installing red trading but I took the opportunity of the dip to increase my holdings.

Remember what we know, if the democrats accuse you of something, they are guilty of it already.

And I'm STILL saying it! ... And I also AGREE that
there SHOULD be investigations over Insider Trading!

Democrats calling for a probe against President Trump
over comments that may've led to insider trading.
Reckon that's fair dinkum.

As long as when Republicans - and President Trump
- surely call for a probe of Democrats who may have
done insider tradings is welcomed also.

What could be more fair than that? ...

The definition of "insider trading" is using knowledge not available to the general public. Trump announced four hours ahead of his order that it was a good buying time. Even AOC knew it was a good time to buy with her economics degree. The whole world knew.

OR
Is it the one that starts with "Two Democratic senators..." as the first line of the OP article posted
OR
Is it the one that quotes "Sens. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz..." in the OP article posted?

Because if it's any of those three, it's clearly all about Da Dems trying to make it all about themselves and averting the all seeing eye of DOGE attention from themselves.

Look there -->, Not here <--.
