Corrupt as the Day is Long

Several top Trump administration officials sold off stock market holdings in the days leading up to the president’s announcements of sweeping tariffs that sparked fears of a global trade war and rattled financial markets.

Sales by top officials, including Cabinet members, their deputies and senior White House officials were clustered in two 10-day periods leading up to President Donald Trump's major tariff announcements Feb. 13 and April 2, according to a USA TODAY analysis of 20 officials’ publicly available transaction forms. Of the stock and stock fund sales administration officials reported between Jan. 20 and April 30, 90% fell within 10 days of the tariff announcements
.

Of course nobody will look into it, as the Trumpers control every entity that might care to see if it's corrupt.

But it looks corrupt and smells corrupt. So they'll hide this matter in the same room with the Epstein files.

  1. Where have you been for all the time that Pelosi has been doing similar things in the market?

    2. Response deleted for containing an antisemitic slur. You're back on the Banhammer List, Bucko.

  2. As soon as I read the article my first thought was that someone would bring up Pelosi. It's like a See 'N Say with the spinner stuck. "And the MAGA says Pelosi."

    1. No. But it is not outside of the realm of possibility that it was a typo. However, as you know from running your own blog, I have no ability to edit comments. It's either allow or delete.

  5. If it was there, then it was a typo, I apologize for the inadvertent and unintended slur. I don't use the K word any more than I use the N one.

    Seriously.
