Donald Trump is trading stocks in companies his government affects through policy decisions.

He’s holding the stocks while pulling the levers that determine their value.

It’s corruption, plain and simple.

1. Mere Insider Trading is getting a secretive tip and taking your money.

What Trump's doing is the next level: Market Manipulation.

If Martha Stewart could go to jail for mere insider trading, then add this violation to Trump's tab.

And BTW, the broker who managed those sales could also go to jail and lose his/her license.

It's stock manipulation, not just the insider trading.

7. He appears to control most of the federal government

Who will go against him?

[TheSphinx]

10. Trump didn't control the federal government for 4 years yet...

He singlehandedly undermined the Biden administration almost everyday. He was very active in trying to ratfuck Biden anyway he could through governors, allies in congress, allies in the media.

Where is our shadow government? We are not acting like a real opposition party.

Stays below critical mass. I think this is also applicable to the Epstein matter.

13. Calling his activities "corruption"

is like calling the SS "thieves" because they took the gold from teeth.

We left "corruption" behind years ago. The Reich Wing owns us now.
