    This always seemed to be the outcome, I’m just surprised it took this long for the court to speak up? Like hello, it’s been MONTHS of this nonsense.

    Time to reign this rogue president in. Congress better do its job, and not let one man break the backbone of American democracy.



  • Brief Devils advocate here: the tariffs were public knowledge since at least February. I also sold a bunch of stocks before the market tanked.

    Trump is quoted saying “there is going to be some pain” in early February while discussing tariffs on Mexico and Canada. That’s enough insight to make me sell, and that was well before most of these insiders sold their position.

    It’s very, very, very difficult to prove insider trading unfortunately. It does look bad from a trust standpoint however, and I agree with that sentiment. It looks especially bad when the president and CEOs laugh about how much money they’ve made while standing in the Oval Office.

    Insider trading or not, the optics don’t look good.
