Trump Has Found Yet Another Profit Center: Stock Trading

Donald Trump bought up shares of companies just ahead of decisions by his own administration that enriched those companies.


WASHINGTON – Donald Trump appears to have added to his already record-setting level of enriching himself while president earlier this year by purchasing stocks in companies ahead of actions by his own administration favorable to those same companies.

Trump bought up to $1 million in Nvidia stock days before the company was granted permission to sell advanced computer chips to China, according to a recent ethics filing. He also bought as much in AMD, another chip maker, shortly before it, too, was allowed to sell in China, as well as Palantir.


“By trading massive amounts of stock ahead of actions by his administration that would directly impact those stocks’ prices, Trump has essentially become the sum of all corruption fears: a president whose every action must be questioned whether it’s being made in his own financial self-interest,” said Jordan Libowitz with the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.


The money he makes from those enterprises and his stock trading, though, pales in comparison to the billions he is making through the cryptocurrency exchange World Liberty Financial, which he and his sons founded. That founding took place just as Trump embraced the crypto industry after years of calling it a “scam.”


Trump has openly used his office to profit himself — the very definition of corruption — in a dramatic departure from the previous presidents over at least the past century, who all went out of their way to remove appearances of conflicts of interest.


BUT, there are still gullible, ignorant MAGA morons who support the greedy, crooked son of a bitch.

Unbelievable….
