      Where’s the outrage? If Biden or Obama did this, the republican outcry could be heard on Mars!!!

      “A hedge fund with massive algo trades.” That quote from the Tuttle Capital CEO says it all. Normal human beings, even high-net-worth ones, do not execute 40 to 60 trades a day across a 113-page disclosure document. The fact that he’s trading Nvidia, Microsoft, and Dell while his administration actively shapes chip regulations and AI policy is absolutely wild. We are witnessing high-frequency algorithmic trading straight out of the Oval Office.

      In the past before machine trading and AI, a floor trader would do about 10-50 trades a day. A traditional day trader would do abut 1-5 trades a day. And these are people whose only job was trading, they did nothing else.

      Dear USA. The things you should be afraid of and it’s not immigrants: 1. Your weakening military, 2. bankruptcy. China and Russia and Saudi Arabia and India are all watching this will trepidation and glee.

      Astonish? Really? Have they not been paying attention for the past ten years?

      Have we forgotten that Trump has children who have been in the background running the businesses and learning about defense contracts and shit. The rest of the Trumps have been quiet this time around because having them all in the spotlight didn’t work last time, but rest assured the Trump dynasty is preparing to inherit the earth.

      How does this not immediately erode all trust in the US stock market? There is a massive player with an unbelievable information advantage, and executing that advantage 50 times a day. This presents an enormous risk to anyway dabbling in trading professional or not! Imo this should cause an absolute evaporation of market cap.

      If Obama or Biden did this , FOX news would run segments about it for weeks non stop saying how they are abusing their power

      I worked for a super rich narcissist for a few years. While he was under investigation for serious stock market violations he was *still* breaking more laws, for small amounts of money too, definitely not worth the risk of more charges being added.

      Narcissists like him and Trump are driven by their greed, it’s insatiable. Trump’s never going to actually spend this money, he’s likely going to be dead within a few years. He simply can’t help himself.

      Signed new caps on federal student loans into law and immediately bought stock in Sofi.

      Trump isn’t making these trades himself. Someone is performing them for him. Someone is giving him advice on when and what to buy and is being included in all the Presidential decisions and announcements. They are actively manipulating the market with his speech/tweets and are profiting from it.
      I don’t understand how any interpretation of the Supreme Court’s decision on Presidential immunity could allow this. There is also the emoluments clause which Congress has refused to enforce.

      I just had to watch a bunch of training videos about why this is illegal and I can get fired. You’d think the president would be held to the same standard.

    23. EdibleBoxers on

      Using big words like Astonish in the title so MAGA can’t read the article. Please give them some pictures or something.

    24. pippius on

      It’s really beggars belief as someone from the UK. Our politicians aren’t saints they get hauled in front of the parliamentary committee and and get lambasted by the press for things way less severe than this.

      Every day I read a story about Trump using the office for personal gain or apparent money laundering (the gold phone, the memecoin, etc.) and just one of these would prompt calls across the political divide for resignation over here.

      Dude has maybe three years left on this planet. Why is he accumulating wealth? 

    26. agree-with-me on

      BTW, that wealth doesn’t just come from thin air, it comes from you.

      I’m in cash since January, but my pension is not. It’s ripe for the picking.

      He’s stealing money with every trade, and it will affect the Dow soon enough.

      The ‘insider’ is doing a lot of work in this headline. Trump’s whole administration is as corrupt as fuck.

      It will serve them right if the Dems flip the House and the Senate and they all go to jail…

    30. krom0025 on

      We need to vote for whoever promises to put the most Republicans in prison and designate the party a terrorist organization so they cannot function in the country anymore.

    31. lefargen97 on

      If democrats do this, MAGA claims it’s illegal and bad and immoral. If Trump does it, they claim he’s being a “smart businessman.”

    32. KopOut on

      I don’t mean to be alarmist but in just the last couple weeks we have learned that:

      Trump’s ridiculous lawsuit against the IRS is going to be settled by the DOJ, which is run by Trump’s personal attorney, for $1.7 BILLION. To be put in an account Trump will control and will be handed out to whomever he wants. This already includes Mike Flynn and will undoubtedly include the Jan 6 insurrectionists. It will obviously include Trump himself too.

      Trump has been trading like a drunken sailor in massive amounts on all the companies he can influence with a tweet and in one instance so far it has been confirmed he did exactly this when he tweeted about what a great investment PLTR is after buying their stock. He didn’t disclose that he owned it of course.

      But, people will not be in the street, and it will keep happening and everyone will move on.

    33. SmoothJazziz1 on

      Well, if that isn’t insider trading, I don’t know what is. Make a decision you know will affect a company stock and buy it just before or after you do; the average citizen would be in jail.

      No checks and balances any longer the corruption goes on day after day while Republican legislators watch the destruction of America on the 250 anniversary of our birth

    36. notie547 on

      “As we ensure that all Americans can profit from a rising stock market, let’s also ensure that members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information.”

      – DJT (SOTU speech)

      I’m glad we can all now agree that he’s corrupt.

    37. Mental_Flow341 on

      He’s like a rat fucking the recently deceased corpse of America. Truly peak greed, perhaps the quintessential definition of greed. Unreal. And guess what, nobody in DC will do anything about it.

    38. Any_Counter_303 on

      His whole family should rot in jail for the rest of eternity. Remove the entire line, seize everything.

    40. berael on

      No one is “astonished”. 

      He’s *openly* using the Presidency as nothing more than an open and obvious cash grab. His entire administration is bribes, embezzlement, and blatant market manipulation without facing consequences. 

      Nothing matters until all administration officials are **in jail**.
