Does Trump still hold investments in equities?
He got away with refusing to have his assets put in a blind trust the last time he stole office.
Does he have a blind trust now? If not, are the records of his holdings and transactions available for the public?

I think Trump, Musk, Bezos, et al have been shorting the market slowly since the day Trump won the election.

This is a true benefit of being POTUS and imposing tariffs -- he knows they will tank stock prices and thus provide opportunities
for the corrupt illuminati who have foreknowledge of when to get out and when to get back in. Plus he gets to be petty and spiteful to foreign countries.

He can't be so stupid as to not realize the negative impact of tariffs, although he may be that stubborn in refusing to forgo
this stupid policy.

Everything he does wreaks of corruption and criminality. What makes Johnny run? MONEY!

My IRAs have lost $60,000 since he took office on 1/20/25 and I am due to retire in 12 months.
I think I am going to pull the plug on stocks next week, no matter what happens in the market.
I can't trust these weasels with my money or my future.
