    1. [First reported](https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/16/us/trump-stock-sales-truth-social-invs-vis) by Casey Tolan and Isabelle Chapman:

      *President Donald Trump hopped on Truth Social last year to share some “very big and exciting news.” Nvidia, the computer chip manufacturing behemoth, had just announced plans to build AI supercomputers in the United States.*

      *“All necessary permits will be expedited and quickly delivered” to Nvidia and similar companies, Trump vowed in the April 15, 2025 post to his more than nine million followers.*

      *What the president didn’t disclose at the time was that days earlier, he had purchased between $200,000 and $500,000 of the company’s stock.*

      *A CNN investigation found that Trump has promoted more than 20 companies on his Truth Social account days after buying stock in those firms – at times announcing government actions that could benefit the companies he just invested in.*

      *The White House has strongly denied that Trump has ever used his office for financial gain and said his actions are aimed at benefiting the American public.*

       

      *[…] CNN used artificial intelligence to compare a database of Trump’s Truth Social posts with a full list of stock trades released in his annual financial disclosure, looking for cases when the posts mentioned firms in which he’d recently bought or sold stock.*

      *Reporters then manually reviewed hundreds of flagged posts and confirmed whether each was relevant.*

      *The analysis found that Trump made at least 44 stock purchases of 21 different companies within a week before he posted a complimentary Truth Social message about the firms, their executives or their products. Many of the posts include Trump’s own commentary, while others quoted company CEOs or linked to favorable news articles.*

      *Trump also made other stock purchases shortly before sending more general messages highlighting policy changes that could benefit those companies, but without specifically naming them.*

      *In contrast, Trump made at least 17 purchases of eight companies’ stock and then posted negative messages about the firms or their executives shortly afterward.*

      *Government watchdogs say Trump’s social media posts and high-volume trading raise questions about whether the president has a conflict of interest – as Congress debates whether presidents and lawmakers should be allowed to trade stocks at all.*

      And now you can pay to see these quicker with his „insider trading as a service“ offering, Truth API.

      He’s selling early access to his tweets to banks and traders. It’s insider trading as a service.

      Truth Social has a subscription service to see what to buy now so you can have insider info too. Its only the latest in what normally would be huge scandals like the BILLION dollar trades a few minutes before Trumps major Iran war announcements that happened near weekly, yet Republicans act like making foreign policy decisions to enrich oneselves instead of whats best for the country, is normal somehow

      That is such a transparent pump-and-dump that it almost feels wholesome.

      You know how you get up and brush your teeth, poop, shower, get dressed, make breakfast, clean up, head off to work.

      Replace all those things with grifts. That’s a day in the life of this degenerate, fat fuck.

      Don’t worry guys, he’s going to show us his tax returns if he wins the 2016 election, as soon as the IRS is done auditing him. Hey look over there, I accuse Nancy Pelosi of insider trading!

      Let me know when actual consequence hits him. I am not holding my breath.

      Noticing there’s rarely any Trump supporting trolls on these post about his corruption, guess they’re so embarrassed they only hangout in the culture war threads.

    10. This guy really is the biggest piece of shit America ever produced. Doesn’t say much about his supporters, does it? Truly some of the worst people alive today.

    11. CarefulFriendship389 on

      Puts himself before his country. Worst president in US history.

    12. The only right move is to confiscate the entire Trump families wealth when he leaves office.

    13. no_f-s_given on

      if you support Donald Trump, you support corruption. he was never going to drain the swamp. he just had a bad case of swamp ass. he’s ONLY there to enrich himself while weakening the position of the US, at the cost of everyone else.

      the rubes still can’t see it tho. they actually think he cares about them. they are so brainwashed they actually think he’s wants to improve their lives. it’s really pathetic.

      MAGA 2016: „Let’s vote for a millionaire businessman with no experience in politics, military, or government! What could possibly go wrong?“

    15. inalcanzable on

      Dont every EVER for the rest of your life let the ghouls of the republican party try and say dems are corrupt. Remember how they dragged hunter biden through all the shit. Fucking scum trump and his family

    16. Normally this would be corruption of office and prison time, insider trading and clear SEC violations or any ethics violation one might choose to pull on.

      But It’s Donald Trump the personal embodiment of all of our national failings of character.

    17. Fabric_Flowers on

      In 2028, I’m voting for whoever campaigns on criminal prosecution for Trump and this administration blatant corruption. None of this let the country heal nonsense. It will heal us to see justice served.

    18. AbominableGoMan on

      Life in prison for the Trump crime family. Or the punishment for traitors. It has to be one of those two.

    19. Thirty years ago, this would have *instantly* ended a presidency.

      This country’s inaction is humiliating.
