if Martha goes to jail for that shit so should he

Charles's avatar

Martha went to jail bc she lied to the Feds about what she knew, not bc of the instructions she gave to her broker. Federal officers HATE being lied to. It makes their investigations that much harder.

By contrast, Trump never li....... oh, wait.

Does he do any work? Beside grifting and playing golf?

fleecing America to enrich the corrupt top to bottom crime family of con men and women and children is exhausting

“Potential Insider Trading Scheme”…Potential?

Julianne Bergstrom's avatar

Not potential, it's reality. When is anyone going to put a stop to this???

Sandy S's avatar

I figure some billionaires are going to start feeling queasy about his out-of-controlness with their cozy money deals. That could get interesting. :-)

Charles's avatar

Yes, until he's convicted in a court of law for it—which will happen approximately never.

Steve Shortt's avatar

That is the billion dollar question.

Unbelievable but I'm not surprised at all whereas in the past the presidents weren't allowed to make any money and now this pedophile president is getting billions from everywhere around him

Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

Thank you Thom for the article although none was good news. Rump is the biggest fraud in history, shameful. 👎

Charles's avatar

(in history)

If you include stock buybacks, which cost us taxpayers more than the defense budget each year he's in office, then yes, he'd beat even Madoff ($65B), WorldComm ($175B), and Enron ($74B).

If you throw in the failure of his DOGE to update identification methods to the level that Walmart and Amazon use, to block the hundreds of billions in gov't benefits that foreign entities like Russia and China steal each year through identity theft, then Trump comfortably beats out all three of those frauds combined.

Illegal insider trading we will see if any court will do their job! Likely not courts are corrupt as Trump is!

Jim Draper's avatar

The Republican Congress and Supremes have allowed him to get away with the blatant corruption for this long, how are they going to reign him in now?

Cal's avatar

Get tough with Trump the con man felon. No special treatment for the king wanna be, would be a start. Guilty means guilty and it's past time to enforce the law when it's broken by Trump!

Julianne Bergstrom's avatar

They won't. They're bought and paid for

Charles's avatar

(allowed him)

Margie's insider trading was sometimes pretty blatant, and she got away with it. (Or was that the leverage used to push her out of office?)

Vote all his enablers out so Congress can finally convict and remove

POTENTIAL?

Every day

Charles's avatar

The kind of inoculation with which MAGA somehow doesn't have a problem.

Kim McAuliffe's avatar

Supreme Court said he has immunity. So why not enrich yourself?

Jim Draper's avatar

I wonder would that immunity apply to Dem presidents too, or would Roberts and crew have to seriously review that ruling?

Charles's avatar

They know that Democratic presidents wouldn't do it. Rhodes scholars and former presidents of the Harvard Law Review don't tend to do that sort of thing.

They know that Democratic voters wouldn't put a lifelong con artist and insurrectionist back into the Oval Office. They read too broadly to fall for such a person.

Remember the faux outrage of the Rs over whether the Clintons could take any of the furniture gifted to the White House?

Julianne Bergstrom's avatar

If a dem did it, they would nix that ruling. Biden could have but had the conscience to know it was wrong. Dump has no conscience.

Julianne Bergstrom's avatar

Somehow I don't think they meant this. If they did, where can I sign up??

Ms. Jodois's avatar

POTENTIAL insider trading? That’s cute. Just remember, Martha Stewart went to prison for a much, MUCH lesser charge.

Julianne Bergstrom's avatar

What's up with the head of the Pentagon doing speeches for elections? Always thought they were too busy for things like that.

"to go golfing"

Until Donald misses three weekends of golf, the deathwatch hasn't really begun.

Trump is the worst human being to ever walk the face of the Earth, him and his scumbag kids and son-in-law and all the pussy ass boot, licking pussies in his administration who constantly have to praise him before everything they say what a bunch of spineless scum, they are how they can look at their selves in the mirror is unimaginable to have to be such a pussy is unimaginable to me. This whole clan is dangerous to the world and needs to be taken to the moon and left there or something has to happen. I vote for the moon.
