If he can get away with rape, he can get away with this. America has lost it’s spine.
The US never had a spine. The rich were always allowed to do this crap.
Show me ONE point in history where the rich and powerful were held accountable in the US.
At one point we taxed them a lot more…
It’s all I’ve got.
That’s really all you need, and all it takes.
Yup. Then they started influencing politics more and more, got those taxes reduced, all the social programs halted, and now what you got is a shitty system that churns out factory workers the rich don’t even need anymore.
Not only rape, but child rape.
“Insider Trading” is illegal, just never enforced.
IDK whether what Trump is doing meets the definition of “insider” trading because the law is intended to prevent CEO’s and managers trading on the strength of pre-release financial information.
However, like a great many of the behaviors of this administration, no one ever really thought of making it illegal in the past for two reasons. Firstly presidents have always had respect for the office, some less so than others but they were all somehow aware of their duty to fit and proper conduct. Secondly everyone assumed that if a president were to very unashamedly enrich themselves through the office, they would be removed from office.
Narrator: sadly however, the people of America were mistaken
It is illegal. The insider trading laws should be enforced. Presidential immunity does not apply to stock trading. Hopefully we will at some point get a normal government again and some of the ill-gotten gains can be clawed back.
“From January 2025 to June 2026, lawmakers reported a collective 22,200 transactions while the president made nearly 28,700.”
Emoluments clause in the US Constitution, anyone? Bueller??
This is approved behavior according to republicans
I don’t think there’s a vertical line between R and D here… More like a horizontal line between rich and poor. See Nancy Pelosi for example.
Very much this, but we’ll hold out hope till the end. Till it’s too late. Both R and D know this.
It is illegal, always was.
It IS illegal. The law is only the law in so far as it is enforcible.
Yeah that is illegal. The rule of law is meaningless in this country though.
They are illegal, but laws are only worth the paper they’re written on if you’re willing to enforce them.
Isn’t there a way to copy these? Fuck man I just need to pay bills why can’t we get a piece of the pie?
My parents say that he must be doing something right because if he’s wrong then why isn’t he fined or charged with anything?
I’m sorry your parents are stupid.
I don’t blame them too much, they’re immigrants who consume the american diaspora propaganda. Usual stuff conflating fascism and corruption as communism and vice versa. Typical China bad rhetoric and Pro-Israel propaganda ofc.
I’m sorry you have to deal with explaining things to them. It must be hard work.
Just remember, you’ll get to choose their nursing home.
That was Trump’s blind trust run by his kids.
The only thing that’s blind are Americans who are allowing this to happen.
I’m not blind but that doesn’t change anything
