Vance defends stock trading spree in Trump financial filings: 'Come on, man'

Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday defended President Donald Trump against a question about the heavy stock trading on display in the president's latest financial disclosures, which revealed transactions totaling hundreds of millions of dollars over just three months.

"The president doesn't sit at the Oval Office on his computer on his, like, Robinhood account, buying and selling stocks," Vance said in response to a reporter at a White House press briefing.

"That's absurd. He has independent wealth advisors who manage his money. He is a wealthy person. He has had success in business," Vance said.

"He's not making these stock trades himself," the vice president said, while accusing the reporter of suggesting otherwise.

STFU Vance. If you're going to kiss Trump's ass at least wipe your lips off before going out in public.

Trade a stock himself if he tried. We get it, Trump is fucking stupid as all fuck. We aren't even sure he understands what a stock is. Obviously he had people using insider information to make money for him. How the fuck is that okay?

And they spent years convincing Maga that Biden was the corrupt one, when he is the most honest ethical person you’ll see in Washington. He wouldn’t even own stocks when he was in the Senate
