Democrats are getting desperate…
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) sent a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this week asking for an investigation into President Donald Trump’s social media posts urging stock market purchases ahead of his tariff pause announcement
“We ask the SEC to determine whether President Trump, any members of his cabinet, or other donors, insiders, and administration officials engaged in insider trading, market manipulation or other securities laws violations on April 9, 2025, when President Trump announced that it was a ‘GREAT TIME TO BUY’ into the stock market,” the senators wrote in a scathing letter.
Sens. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) also signed the letter, which slammed Trump for urging his social media followers to buy stocks “just hours before he announced a 90-day pause on his recently announced tariffs, leading to a historic market rally after days of dramatic market declines.”
“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social at 9:37 am just ahead of his announcement that he would pause additional tariff increases on 75 countries for 90 days while slapping even higher levies on China.
The letter was addressed to SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins, a Trump appointee, who was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday.
“It is unclear which officials and affiliates for President Trump had advance knowledge of his plans to delay tariffs — but insiders may have known that he was going to announce a tariff pause and that the market would improve,” argued the Senators.
They want to investigate President Trump for insider trading, well lets go back on all of the Democrats that have made millions doing insider trading. Then we can send them off to prison and take all of the money that they took illegally. That means that the Clintons, Obama’s, Bush’s, Pelosi, Schumer, Biden’s (the entire family), and the rest of the Democrats.
Agree with your post !!!!!!
An FBI investigation for each of the accusers should also commence time now!!! Would anything be found? Did you make a mistake?
first of all it is illegal for a POTUS to be trading in the market. all his assents must be put in a blind trust where he has no control over them. How can anyone accuse him of insider tradign when, he did that by designating his son I think, he openly did that?
as others have indicated, those who are castiong stones may soon find the are living in glass houses and are subject to the same laws, can be investigated by the new DOJ, if found guilty of insider tradiong or even the impropriarity can be tried and sentenced. If I were an accusing democrat I would be backing away if I were even questionable. with an approval rate of around 25% the democrats are skating on very thin ice and making themselves look more and more foolish every, are losing more and more popularity with their exposed greed, graft, and corruption. by the mid term comes many may find they are out of office in the next term. those that want to survive had better start looking at working with concervatives to repair damages this nation has taken over the last 25 years of democratic mishandling of our tax moneies with examples such as Nancy Pelosi, chuck schumer, elizabeth warren, adam schiff, and of course Maxine waters.
These senators are unhappy that the insider trading just became public knowledge, and the public gets to participate in it. The senators are unhappy because they lost their backroom tactics, didn’t they?
