Due to his religion, Trump cannot be around a woman other than his wife unless he's having nonconsensual sex with her.

Criminals. If I had money with either of those firms I’d pull it immediately. They obviously have zero ethics and are possibly guilty of insider trading

mindyafnnbidness.bsky.social•3 days ago

So disgusting. And I guess all of these crooks are fine with openly giving a 🖕 to the People, as well as profiting from their struggles, as and ignoring the laws against insider trading and just about everything else. Nobody seems to be willing to stop them. They're BRAGGING about it now. Fuckers...

Insider trading anyone?

Only modern day Rethuglickans are so brash, so corrupt, so diabolically stupid, to give unqualified support for Dump to torch America only so he can hold a fire sale for the oligarchy.

When Trump said he was for YOU he was only talking to billionaires. He wasn’t talking to working people.

goingforward25.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sure glad they found join in this criminal behavior. People put a felon in the White House. What did they expect for him to turn around and be a law abiding citizen? Shame on people who voted for him.

I know Trump's immunity means he's invincible but could Schwab and Martin get busted for insider trading?

blueskybound.bsky.social•3 days ago

If Dems regain power, they should definitely use an EO to investigate every law firm and corporation that is paying Trump.

physicshappens.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump says "Tariff" and the market plunges, he says "No Tariff and the market surges." No wonder it is his favorite word. It's like a magic incantation and he can make tons of money in both directions. Meanwhile, this side hustle will boost Truth Social subscribers and stock:

physicshappens.bsky.social•3 days ago

"What a day, but more great days coming," Trump says early on Thursday. Later, he added (to my secret source 😉): "I say a 'Tariff On', and the market tanks. I say 'Tariff Off', and the market surges. I make money both ways, it's a magic word, my favorite word, tariff."

drbob317.bsky.social•3 days ago

Just like my favourite word, “Alexa.” I say, “Alexa, hall light on” and the light goes on. I say, “Alexa, hall light off” and it goes off.” Trump’s in a different league than me, of course, but the principle’s the same - manipulation is still manipulation!

sadiemae1969.bsky.social•3 days ago

Complete manipulation.

sadiemae1969.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sounds about right.

capitalistfool.bsky.social•2 days ago

Shouldn't we all be a lot more bothered to know that a major stockbroker seems to have insider-traded with the president?
Doesn't that make Charles Schwab a crook?
Who would want to have a crook as your broker?
Wouldn't he eventually cheat you, too?

sadiemae1969.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, trump likes people who will break the law for him. Attorneys, accountants, supporters, why not financial advisor?

realdeal64.bsky.social•1 day ago

So the question is, if all the budget drama and massive destruction of programs for working class people to give the BILLIONAIRES TAX CUTS is a GOP Trump priority, why do we NOT think that the deliberate tanking of the markets through tariffs is to let the billionaires buy purposely deflated stocks?

iconoclast88.bsky.social•3 days ago

if this is accurate it would imply Schwab made 25% of his net worth yesterday

le-desert-ratta.bsky.social•3 days ago

Look at all those men in the room w/ their fat smiles as Trump brags about what profiteering. All while the majority ppl & biz has LOST money and very uneasy abt what is to come. Once again, Trump displays sheer disregard for the average, otherwise unseen person. Guests did same on this occasion.

sadiemae1969.bsky.social•3 days ago

Very true. It's disgusting.

greedymcdonuts.bsky.social•3 days ago

Partially?

robvo.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is why i left Schwab. They back The Felon & are financing his bitcoin & credit ventures.

Any retail investor who stays with Schwab is a sucker supporting this regime.

9xwin.bsky.social•3 days ago

I have a savings account with Marcus by Goldman Sachs and another with Ally. Do you have an opinion on these? This sort of thing disgusts me and I've been trying to not support ghouls like these guys.

robvo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Both Goldman and Ally are good. They don't work with Trump and have been targeted by his regime for their comments & policies.

skeeters2025.bsky.social•3 days ago

I just don't know how this can be legal. I know it's not but they're getting away with it. What's going on in America? 😭

bembemdedon.bsky.social•3 days ago

dktr.bsky.social•3 days ago

For Trump, admirable accomplishment = screwing someone over or making a bunch of $. Character, selflessness, or kindness are negative qualities in his mind.

cozmikslop.bsky.social•3 days ago

The only thing "surprising" about any of this is that no one broke out the champagne.

He didn't "make" $2.5bn. In the course of the last two weeks it was transferred from loser schmucks with 401k's to winners like Schwab.

Trump presidency is legalised theft from citizens to oligarchs.
