While electricity and grocery bills keep climbing for my family, Donald Trump made $2.2 billion in 2025 off his presidency. He made over 1,000 equity trades in a single month. His oil and gas holdings rose nearly $16 million after he launched a war with Iran. This isn't a gray area — it's corruption in plain sight, and you need to act on it.
The congressional stock trading bill moving through Congress is a start, but it deliberately excludes the president and vice president. That loophole has to close. Trump's own government disclosures confirm he is actively trading individual stocks while making policy decisions that move markets. Ethics experts have flagged this as extraordinary and dangerous. A president who profits from war has every incentive to keep fighting it.
Seventy percent of Americans support banning lawmakers from trading individual stocks. That support extends to the executive branch. Push for legislation that covers the president. Hold hearings. Use every tool available. The public is watching, and the silence from Congress on presidential conflicts of interest is becoming its own scandal.
