Did you see what Donald Trump posted last Wednesday morning?
“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!”
A few hours later, Trump “paused” most of the stupid and destructive tariffs he
had unilaterally imposed on dozens of nations all across the globe. Following
this seemingly sudden reversal, the stock market had one of its largest one-day
upturns in over a decade.
Members of Congress are required to publicly disclose stock trades valued at
over $1,000 within 45 days.
Some members of Congress — including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen.
Elizabeth Warren, and Sen. Chuck Schumer — are saying the American people should
not have to wait that long to find out if any MAGA Republicans profited from
Trump’s tariff tantrum:
* They are calling for every member of Congress to immediately disclose any
stock trades made between April 2 and April 9.
* They are calling for state attorneys general to investigate whether
Donald Trump, his family, anyone in his administration, or any members of
Congress engaged in insider trading, market manipulation, or other illegal
actions related to the tariff pause.
* They are calling for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress
altogether.
Tell Congress: [[link removed]]
It would be unconscionable if any member of Congress used their position to
benefit financially from Donald Trump’s tariff insanity — especially when
millions and millions of everyday Americans are suffering the resulting
financial chaos. Every senator and representative should immediately disclose
any stock trades made between April 2 and April 9. State attorneys general
should investigate any potential wrongdoing. And members of Congress should be
banned from trading stock altogether.
