Remember when repubs made President Carter give up his peanut farm?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
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 )
They are illegal, but laws are only worth the paper they’re written on if you’re willing to enforce them.
This is as smart as he’s ever felt about himself.
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)
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 should be illegal is his middle name at this point.
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.
It IS illegal. The law is only the law in so far as it is enforcible.
Didn’t a large Twatter account that documented Donnie’s stock trades get cancelled?
Well, you get what you voted for.
Absolutely! The rise of the Joker (Trump) happened because of the moral hypocrisy and critical lack of self-awareness of the Gothinians.
Keep crying out to billionaire Bruce Wayne to save you from the “bad” billionaires. Because we’re entitled to 10 pounds of meat/cheese a week, cheap fossil fuels, cheap Amazon Chinese goods, luxury vacations and açaí bowls.
And when Batman (the centrist liberal, capitalist establishment) fails at changing material conditions and the Joker gets out of Arkham again, bitch about what the lack of accountability and self-awareness results in.
Yeah that is illegal. The rule of law is meaningless in this country though.
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.
