Hours before announcing his decision Wednesday to lower tariffs on nearly every country in the world for 90 days, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social urging people to buy stocks.
“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” he wrote, signing it with his initials.
At least one GOP lawmaker took his advice: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who worships at the feet of Dear Leader.
Remember when insider trading was illegal? Or has that never applied to politicians?
It’s complicated…

96:3 Senate
417:2 House
The real world effectiveness of the STOCK Act at curbing insider trading is up for debate. Insider trading laws which already existed to stop such practices lack specific definitions making them difficult to enforce, the STOCK Act attempts to rectify this but critics argue it does not do enough
Yeah the penalty for that if they even get it is so minimal it’s not even a slap on the wrist…
Noooooooooooooo really?
I for one am flabbergasted I tell you. FLABBERGASTED!
Personally, I’m gobsmacked. Who would have guessed?
Just how gasted is your flabber?
I’m sure somewhere theres a tweet from her condemning Pelosi’s insider trading.
She’s definitely not the only one. It’s going to be interesting to see if anyone tries to do anything about it since laws don’t apply to the wealthy.
Representative Samsquanch may not be smart enough to get away with insider trading.
I mean, she has the Marjorie touch. Anything she does is instantly shady. She shows up to your kids soccer game? Sorry, that’s a shady soccer game now. She is a ruiner of things.
Yeah no fucking shit
Can a true patriot please put this neanderthal back into the cave where she belongs?
Crazy fucking lady
Lol so did I. Anyone mad about this doesn’t know how to make money.
Did you sell before the crash and reinvest, or have you injected new money into a volatile market being manipulated by an idiot?
Perhaps you have just caught a falling knife.
Everyone sane did. Yet somehow plenty here were adamant and were running to sell their investments ASAP instead of investing more. I have no clue how people can be that stupid…
Democrats are screaming that it’s illegal but I guess it is ok when the old witch does it.
Therefore it must be okay when Republicans do it!
