      mid terms the senate and house will flip democrate. then they can start investigatio and articles of impeachment.

      I wonder what country has the guts to arrest this dementia president when he visits

    4. 1cl3nstd4yt on

      Somebody bought $1.5 billion in S&P 500 futures at the same time.

      They made a killing, probably tripled their money.

      Exactly the sort of thing 70% of adult American society knew or should’ve known they were either voting for or not bothering to vote to prevent.

      So the art of the deal is just telling your buddies to short oil 15 minutes before you tweet? Got it.
      We’re out here stressing about $5 gas and the literal threat of World War III, while someone with a direct line to the White House just made enough money in one minute to buy a private island. $580 million isn’t just market anticipation it’s a statistical middle finger to every working person in this country.

      Pump and Dump schemes at the Presidential level are stealing billions from pensions and retirement funds.

      Every single dollar these fucks steal by insider trading, with the orange turd as the ringleader…is a dollar that teamsters truck driver loses in his retirement. It’s a dollar stolen from that teacher’s and cop’s pension.

      They are stealing from US at scale and the only hope is a complete wipeout at the ballot boxes and 100% accountability for all crimes immediately thereafter.

      This is treasonous and I don’t mean it like orange turd uses the word. I mean it in the real sense of the legal term.

      They deserve the harshest punishment their crimes carry by law. If that’s capital punishment – so be it. It’ll be the only way we have at healing the damage and theft

      What a shame that anyone with that kind of access and half a billion dollars to throw around on the stock market is totally above facing the consequences of treason.

      Ah, well. Back to watching the United States burn itself to the ground, I guess…

      Martha Stewart went to prison for $45,000 in insider trading. $580 million traded minutes before a presidential announcement and a Nobel laureate is calling it treason. The two-tiered justice system has never been more visible

    11. restbest on

      If you’re an American invested in the stock market you’re the bag holder for the administration to trade against.

    12. Ferrocile on

      Add it to the pile. Nobody can hold them accountable right now. Please vote.

    13. Nissir on

      If over the next 6 years there isn’t a full house clean of government and people going to prison over shit like this for long periods of time, the American experiment is over.

    16. dentz1 on

      He is corrupt on so many levels. You have to be intentionally obtuse to believe otherwise.

    17. Fickle-Molasses-903 on

      I guarantee the moment Democrats get into office:

      Independents and moderates: ‚I just can’t with these two parties. I mean, did you see the Democrats put their feet on the table inside the Oval Office?‘

      Media: ‚How decorum has fallen once Democrats are in charge.‘

    19. Upstairs-Egg on

      I just want Republicans to care. Why the hell do they have no standards for the man they elected?

    20. darnay321 on

      Would people care. They’ve found a way to blind the masses on the things that matter while redirecting rage to petty things. Soon they would flood the news cycle with one transperson in a toilet or how an illegal immigrant stole $5 or how they need to bomb somewhere more while they steal and trust the masses. All their focus will be on those other things

    21. wookiewin on

      Am I hearing right that someone at SEC was also barred from investigating and they resigned in protest? Insane.

    22. Klondike307 on

      This has happened multiple times since Trump began his second term, especially when the tariff flip flopping was happening last Spring.

    23. Zanac36532 on

      Anyone surprised by this? Anyone? Anyone surprised that those with insider knowledge of the President’s decisions are making a killing on the market?

    24. HeavyTea on

      Like Robin Hood site—- as lone as Elites do it, it is a victimless crime right?

      And taxpayer money is unlimited too.

      And …. and… just some light corruption

    25. PurpsMaSquirt on

      Imagine being upset at the idea of taxing billionaires more while turning a blind eye to this.

    26. Flamboiant_Canadian on

      Imagine bombing another country, **starting a war** with said country, and then dragging allies into said war, just to manipulate the markets for personal gain?

      If that’s not treason, then idk what is? 

    27. SantosL on

      I lost something like 15% of my 401k over this weekend and absolutely love to see it funneled into some billionaires pockets. And they’ll get away with it due to a compromised opposition party.

    29. OldTobyGreen on

      „No punishment is too great for the man who makes his greatness on his country’s ruin.“

      – George Washington

      No fate suffered in the annals of human history could be considered cruel or unusual in light of what the GOP has inflicted upon the United States.

    30. toomuchblack on

      Republicans love the money that America makes them and couldn’t care less about the people that make up America.

    31. 8bitmorals on

      For the people that don’t know. around 6:49 AM on **March 23, 2026**, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 futures and approximately $650 million in crude oil contracts entered the New York market.

      Roughly 16 minutes later, Trump posted on Truth Social announcing a 5-day suspension of bombing Iran’s energy infrastructure, citing „very good and productive talks“

      Following the post, oil prices dropped roughly 15%, while the S&P 500 surged by $1.7 trillion in value

    32. acutelonewolf on

      Why is everyone against the Trump family and friends profiting from this War / Not a War?

      /S

    35. Salt-Initiative-8159 on

      Lots of people noticing this today and that’s probably why the markets are not responding to Trump’s bullshit today. Everyone of these people should be jailed and it’s another impeachable offense for Trump.

    37. Own-Librarian-9699 on

      The best time to rob a bank is when someone else is robbing it. Getting elected is the best way to commit crime. There are zero consequence.

    38. Literally_Laura on

      I would love to see some actual consequences, but treason is the new black.

    39. TheStoicSlab on

      I will vote for any non-republican that will drag every one of those fuckers into court.

    41. WallApprehensive7091 on

      It’s very quiet over on /Conservative on this topic for some reason. But I can’t put my finger on why.

    42. Vbrasastation on

      Americans, this is YOUR money. Why are you just letting this dude rob it from you? Like he’s literally just pulling your pants down and taking your money and y’all are like „oh yeah, thanks“. Americans are really something
