The whole bunch is crooked. Dem/GOP. If you are a W2 employee paying taxes like me, you are a schmuck.

I actually wouldn’t give a shite if they enrich themselves as long as they did what was best for their constituents as well

Yes. It is absolutely clear that anyone who isn't Trump fanboy is a pinko commie who voted for Biden and Harris.

Regarding the topic, clickbait, but it should come as no surprise that all these people up there are using knowledge you and I aren't privy to in order to make themselves much wealthier.

They got him now

One of the more curious trades is a trade of less than $50K worth of SpaceX. A $50K trade in a portfolio of someone with Trump's net worth is the equivalent of a $5-10 trade for most people on this board. They really think Trump is doing insider trades of values that amount to pocket change for a billionaire?

Also, the tweet comparing Trump to Pelosi is clickbait. Trump's net worth is over $6 billion while Nancy is around $90 million. Of course he's going to see bigger dollar gains in a portfolio that much larger to start with. The correct way to compare would be by what percentage gains that each had.

The system is rigged and he uses it just like all the other criminals in DC. Why hasn't legislation to stop it been passed? The talking heads want you looking at Trump while they have been doing the same thing for decades.

Anyone with half a brain can see this is typical portfolio management of a large block of stocks. Show me where he shoved a bunch of money in on something and then pushed a deal with that company later if you want to make a point.

The X-post cited in the OP was steeped in simple straightforward financial ignorance. The figures "JerryRigEverything" noted represent gross transaction value --the combined dollar volume of assets bought and sold -- NOT PROFITS!

The guy then juxtaposed Trump's portfolio transactions with Pelosi's portfolio profits as if there was an equivalence.

I think it’s a genius move. Him doing this is the only thing that’s going to get congress to start taking it serious.

Well Trump does actually do things. Judges block him, but he does things.

Your run of the mill politicians spend most of their time begging for donations. Not governing.

I thought the POTUS had his money managed blindly while he is in office…


That is a choice most make, but it is not required by law. Per ChatGPT, most modern presidents did some form of it until after GW Bush.

Lyndon B. Johnson Blind trust

Richard Nixon Largely liquidated investments; did not use a conventional blind trust

Gerald Ford Blind trust / diversified holdings

Jimmy Carter Put his peanut business in a trust and sold/liquidated other assets

Ronald Reagan Blind trust

George H.W. Bush Blind trust

Bill Clinton Blind trust

George W. Bush Blind trust / divested stocks

Barack Obama No blind trust; primarily Treasury securities and diversified mutual funds

Donald Trump (1st term) No true blind trust; retained ownership of his businesses, with management shifted to his children

Joe Biden No blind trust; had relatively limited/diversified investments and did not actively trade stocks

Donald Trump (2nd term) No true blind trust; continues to own interests managed through family-controlled arrangements and has also reported individual stock trading
