Disclosure deadline is May 15, then there might be some news. Or more likely, some investigative journalist eg @theguardian.com might like to trace the ultimate beneficiaries of the stock purchases just before the announcement
The fact that they are insider trading doesn't even matter.
We already knew they were Grifters and Crooks.
What matters, is how incompetent and inept the Administration is. They are destroying the US economy based on ego, hubris, and lack of cognitive ability.
Agreed. Dems are indefensible on the issue of insider trading. Looking at the top 20 richest congressional representatives over the last 10 years shows a fairly even distribution between Rs and Ds.
As people are already pointing out... nobody is doing anything about this shit. We're a fascist, lawless nation now but lawless only for rich, white fascists. Us peons have to obey more laws than people anywhere. The New Serfs is us.
Land of the downtrodden peasant, and home of the cowardly sniveler..
Sorry to say but YOU ALL have allowed this to happen. It's taken since 1973, but YOU have allowed it. Letting Ford pardon Nixon was when the rot set in.
It's horrific.. I remember after the reuninfication of Germany in the 90's.. the first Olympics after that ..1992.. Germany won a gold, and the band struck up THAT tune, and the stadium and the world went silent..
Lots of people especially in Europe have long long memories.
Historians, depending on the outcome of this dumpster fire will one day write as to how on earth the American people placed a crime syndicate in the White House... twice. On the other hand, if Americans submit and allow this gangster to win the day... then who will be allowed to write this history?
She can’t get too bold, Trump will send ICE after her. I’m not joking of being an Ass. He’s going to start doing shit like that .. first it will be Americans of non white decent who oppose him, then it will be white peoples who oppose him.
It certainly seems like all these tariff talks hurts the majority of us and yet Felon 47 made Billions. That sounds like Insider Trading and I wouldn’t put it past a habitual lying, cheating, money laundering FELON.
Now for her to talk about HR 1526, “No Rogue Rulings Act” (NORRA). If it passes, courts lose the power to block Trump—giving him unchecked control and opening the door to dictatorship.
Anyone else think Kilmar Abrego Garcia cant be found maybe for a very specific life ending reason? And what will that say about Trump's presidency that he's illegally deported an innocent man who didnt make it back?
We can all call them out about it, but will someone actually do anything about it that will really matter? Or will we just keep calling them out about it?! #actiontalksbullshitwalks
You're what about whataboutisms won't work here. If a Democrat in office made high dollar trades during this time, all of their constituents welcome an investigation. If you were a thinking person though, you'd realize that trump likely wouldn't bring Pelosi, Warren or Schumer in on his plans.
Meme away potato. It's likely you live off the system and don't have a 401K that you watched get pissed away so your billionaire idols get richer. Wait until you can't pay lot rent next month cletus.
Sweetheart. Don't get excited. I don't get upset by your kind. Just get prepared because Dems realized that facts only confuse you and have now decided to play by your rules. Go brush your tooth and have the day you deserve. 😘
If you are a Trump insider, you are likely cleaning up on his game of on again, off again tariffs. Someone is making big money off his little charade with the markets.
For some the justice system has failed for decades. And now your president does all this illegal stuff in broad daylight. Even brags about it on tape. That is what I would call a broken justice system. It fails ordinary Americans and let Richie Rich stay off the hook and rob you blind.
Trumpers will play the whataboutism game and say Nancy Pelosi. And I say if Nancy Pelosi did this she too should be in trouble for it. I don't see how pointing out other people's corruption absolves Trump of his.
Yesterday, it was his plan all along to pause. If that's the case and it wasn't a grift, then the plan failed. Once things settled, the stocks tanked again. The only time this is going as planned is if the plan is fraud.
Look. Musky told dt, I got you into the wh, I've lost billions working at the wh, you owe me. Dt manipulates the stock market and musky gets $36 billion back of some his "lost income" due to doge.
The moron is demonstrating why highly unregulated capitalism may no longer be a viable economic system for the majority of people, who stand to lose a lot of whatever wealth they may have, if we slide into global recession, while a relatively small set of people make bank.
I think the whole tariff thing is a get rich quick scheme for the robber barrons and they won't pay the price for it we will when we have to pay way more for our goods while the dollar becomes worthless and we're at risk of being bombed by rest of world
The Dems all need to get together and demand an investigation. This is the biggest market manipulation/insider trading scam ever seen. This regime needs to be dismantled.
All You people in government have been saying ban insider trading. Both sides for years. And years. But Then you drink the cool-aid and make a few trades and you’re hooked on the fentanyl of seeing your trust fund go up. Sorry but it’s a great pitch for your election. Show me the $$$ as they say.
I just happened to be looking at the DOW when the spike started and when I realized it wasn't doing that death drumbeat of popping up & dropping lower, I checked the news. Nothing for several minutes. Should be an easy thing to investigate with the timing of the announcement. But then who will?
I'm sure the few dozen people left in the DOJ with any integrity will be all over this, right up until they are unconstitutionally fired (and then rehired on administrative leave).
It's called insider trading and it's illegal. Just ask Martha Stewart, who profited a teeny tiny amount; a fraction of what orange and his friends and cronies just made over the self-inflicted wounds of orange's soon-to-be recession.
It seems to my untrained mind, that federal charges for insider trading are irrelevant with a MAGA pardon machine in office. But since these trades are ultimately executed in the State Of New York, doesn’t that state have laws about this?
Lots of people saw the suspicious activity long before this week, we knew he was shorting the markets to make money, and even posting on his fake social site "this is a great time to buy" shortly before announcing his pause, he's done some very illegal things here, get him in prison!!!
Tried to read this post. Clicked on the link but got hit by an avalanche of adds , some for stock market sellers. I won’t be going near comic sans in the future.
Thank you, AOC! Start with Nancy Pelosi! We all know that she fought hard to allow congress and the senate permission to trade stocks! Insider information would be exactly what any greedy stock trader would be looking for. They're all in it together!
So old. We know he's braking the law. Prosecute the assholes and quit your bitching. Start running this government. Repubs do it Dems do it oligarch does it. Surprise do something.
The way I remember it, the talking heads, the ones who were “experts” were saying what she did was could be remediated with administrative penalties, fines, not criminally. But in the “good old days” lying to the feds was prosecuted. Never talk to the cops.
If only, the DoJ was required to prosecute ALL violations of the law regardless of who is charged.
no more selective prosecution.
If the DoJ chooses to not prosecute, then it should open up for private right-of-action/class-action lawsuits against criminal activity of elected officials.
Still pointing out: Wednesday morning’s activity that pushed the markets up despite futures being way down overnight and the absence of any positive news is just as if not more suspicious than the afternoon.
Insider trading already IS illegal and congress is NOT above the law!!! I hope you're not suggesting that this is one of many things they do that we cannot but now it's public so shame on them...?
Congressional investigation does nothing. No, push STATE AGs to press criminal charges ( fraud) that are not immune. He took emoluments from Finland& Saudis visiting MAL. It is a prohibited rather than essential act of POTUS & product of threats of raising tarriffs supporting these corrupt
Don's next step to control Musk.
Tesla needs many parts/components made in China.
Don will decide which components will be subject to the tariffs. He'll use his " instincts" to decide which components are exempt from tariffs.
If Musk kisses the ring; don's China tariffs will be favorable to musk.
He’s broken the law AGAIN. #ImpeachTrump #ImpeachTrumpNow #IllegalTraderTrump #IllegalTradingTrump Will No One in Congress act to STOP this greedy #FOTUS ?? Where are their spines? Where are their consciences? Oh, wait: the GOP have neither.
Holy shit, 'representatives' of people that are banked the fuck up aren't representing most people. If you can lose a million dollars to make a couple million later, you're not normal. Also, order me some tortas you rich fucks.
Calling them out is fine. But maybe they can start taking actual action against all of them? The draft dodger Mr Bon Spurs as dodged prison long enough.
Since TS is not an formal WH SM platform, it's still private SM. DJT has TS oblig of posting there w/i 8 hrs of official release. In reality, he is posting in advance of POTUS official release or it is being used in place of official release. I wonder if this deems all such posts "insider trading"?
Doesn’t take a genius to recognise this is insider trading. But it takes guts to stand up and say it as a leading politician. Not much chance the FBI will be on to it after the 🍊🤡 put one of his arse kissers as its chief.
Why is EVERYONE ignoring trump's outright confession in his J19'25 pre-inaguration rally speech full rally found on C-SPAN for verification @ 2:34:00 to 2:34:59 he says not once but 2Xs “they rigged the election”
Greed is a clinical psychosis and an addiction. The ceo's, the billionaires, politicians, corporations, and dictators are all lined up to feed at the trough filled with the treasure of our nation and enjoy the quid pro quo of selling out everything we stand for and the lives of all Americans.

They are criminals.

Not defending the GOP, but i wont defend Democrats on this issue either.
AOC and Bernie are Putin's whistles. Everything will go up in steam.

And the answer is sweet FA (and Trump and his pals know it).
America is a cesspit of corruption and stupidity.
We need to make the job unpalatable to the parasite class.
No financial privacy if you want the job.

They are above the law.
They have NO SHAME.
Their constituents can impact this if they wanted to but they won’t.

When they leave us no alternative, it seems like they prefer to go back to that.
