  1. The insider trading *certainty*. We *know* it’s happening. This regime is very flagrantly corrupt.

  2. The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump’s presidency

    The suspicion that sunrise will come looming over the night.

    Two equally incisive sentences.

    By far the most corrupt POTUS to ever sit in the White House. So tired of hearing the right claiming every President has been corrupt or Dems are far more corrupt. Complete horseshyt. There’s a reason this conman is the only President not to divest from his business. Both terms @ that.

  4. What consequences have we seen so far for illegal acts done by members of this Administration?

    It’s massively overshadowed by the $TRUMP meme coin that is blatantly a channel for bribery, which was started *3 days* before he was inaugurated in 2025. People have openly said they purchased said coin for the purpose of buying favor with Trump.

  6. It’s not even trading. It’s just overt corruption. Govt contracts going to companies they’re running. That don’t do anything.

  7. Oh we’re wayyyy past that. He looks at it as a badge of honor. His brat kid will never have to work in his life. I have know idea why its even going to college

    Donald Trump Jr. practically runs Kalshi the gambling site destroying americans lives. and guess what? they just bet Trump will say “praise to allah” and “strait of iran” and when they will do shit. trump probably laughed when Baron told him how easy it was and Baron just tells him shit to type on social media. they are profiting off destroying americans lives via gambling, while driving up prices and threatening genocides all over. what a shitty fucking country

  9. I have heard this piece of shit’s name every day for a fucking decade. I am so sick and tired of it.

    I just want to never hear his voice or his name or see his face ever again. That’s all I fucking want.

  10. There’s no *”looming”* – Trump is brazenly corrupt and on the take; what else do you call fleecing taxpayers for **$10 billion dollars** for a leak on his taxes, something many other presidents wilfully and traditionally revealed? Now the MSM is even *sane-washing* his obvious intentions and many criminal activities that are out in the open as being somehow “suspicious” and not the unacceptable hubris and greed he’s been accused and indicted for, for decades. His entire family is in on it, and other scum-lords too numerous to count.

  11. There is no suspicions at this point. It’s a fact! It’s clear that him and his cronies are profiting from it and they are doing it in plain sight while the SEC looks the other way

  12. Those statistically-impossibly-perfectly-timed bets? All the massive market swings that trump has enabled with his ridiculous posturing?

    Yeah – those suspicions are… very, very likely to be true.

  13. What can one expect from someone who 1) sells presidential pardons, 2) not only accepts by demands bribes, 3) ignores any law, including international laws, he chooses, 4) has been convicted of running a fraud, 5) peddles his merchandises from the White House, 6) Illegally invades and steal resources from sovereign countries and 7) is sponsored by oligarchs?

    I would be shocked if he is not manipulating markets and actively participating in insider tradings.

    Maybe them being so blatant about it will ruin it for everyone in Congress too.

    Yeah, in the same way that we all suspect Trump’s name is ‘Trump’ we also suspect he and his administration is doing all the insider trading we see them doing.

    Whatever theyre doing (fraud, embezzlement, insider trading) theyre doing it knowing theyll receive a pardon if their chain of power can prevail. If there was any conceivable accountability at all.

    Every hour in this administration makes the Teapot Dome scandal look like kindergarten

    It’s not a secret to America. Willful ignorance is real and thriving in the gop. These republicans in congress are actually receiving a paycheck from us taxpayers and they won’t work.
    We have squatters in the house of the people and we need votes and the law to evict these maggots.

    This will last a few days, he will do something else highly illegal and controversial and the focus will switch. Like always. It is how he operates. It is sickening. It is like following a toddler with a lighter. You try to stop him but have to slow down to put out the first fires while he keeps lighting more things on fire. Can’t focus on one for too long as something new is already burning. Before you know it the house burns down. I predict we are about 3/4 through this arc at the moment.

    He’s a convicted felon. You think the presidency would make him less criminal?

  21. Just like all the other crimes he commits regularly, I don’t expect he will face any consequences for this.

    Congress continues in its dereliction of duty. The Senate has now failed four times to pass a resolution demanding that Trump seek Congressional approval to continue the Iran war.

    The House of Representatives failed by a theatrical one vote to pass the same resolution. Four Republicans abstained from voting, and Thomas Massie voted in favor. This forced the Democrats to sacrifice one of their own to deny the resolution, and Jared Golden (who does not plan to seek re-election) became the scapegoat.

  23. Dude it’s BLATANTLY obvious lol. They’re not even remotely hiding it because they don’t give a fuck about anything besides making money and frankly. Since WE are not holding them accountable we’re beginning to be just as much to blame.

  24. Secure-Window-5478 on

    He and all his children are guilty of this. Yet Hunter Biden was in the news for making money from his dad’s name and now the right-wing news media is silent.

    Suspicions? It’s clearly evident. Single Shorts by one account 20 minutes before tweets or speeches. Other smaller trades, must be the friends..

  26. Why call it a suspicion? We KNOW it’s happening, we just don’t have the smoking gun. But just because you don’t have a smoking gun in a crime doesn’t mean you can’t convict the person, in fact most convictions happen without the smoking gun, because the bullet, the gun, the victim, the fingerprints on the gun, the killer’s DNA are all still present and are enough to prove that the killer committed the crime.

  27. Suspicions? How bout “the glaringly obvious, in your face, don’t give a shit what you think, insider trading which is the entirety of Trump’s presidency”.

  28. Donald Trump Jr, is an investor in Polymarket, and sits on its advisory board, as well as a paid advisor to Kalshi.

    I think we’re well past ‘ suspicions’ at this point.

    Polymarket and Kalshi are betting apps that claim they are not betting apps. It’s gambling.

    “Suspicions”? Just fucking say it, already. We all know it’s happening and these journalists tip toe around the elephant.
