Donald Trump is trading stocks in companies his government affects through policy decisions.

He’s holding the stocks while pulling the levers that determine their value.

It’s corruption, plain and simple.

What Trump's doing is the next level: Market Manipulation.

If Martha Stewart could go to jail for mere insider trading, then add this violation to Trump's tab.

And BTW, the broker who managed those sales could also go to jail and lose his/her license.

He singlehandedly undermined the Biden administration almost everyday. He was very active in trying to ratfuck Biden anyway he could through governors, allies in congress, allies in the media.

Where is our shadow government? We are not acting like a real opposition party.
