Last week, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) published two Form 278-T disclosure reports covering Trump’s personal financial activity from January through March 2026. The documents, more than 100 pages, show more than 3,700 individual stock transactions. That’s more than 40 trades per market day across a three-month period.

    Some reports have trump pulling in over 1.4 billion dollars for himself this term so far.

    According to Google, all presidents over the last 100 years in office including trump’s first term added up together made 22 million dollars.

    Dude is fucking the world and raping this country for money on his way out. He absolutely doesn’t give a fuck, he’s gonna be dead soon so he’s setting everything on fire.

      I can remember the cons having fainting spells over Bill Clinton’s speaking fees. After he was President.

      Now some of these very same asshats are very cool with Donvict and his crime family making off with BILLIONS. While in office.

        They never really cared even then, part of it is they see it all as a team sport, part of it is that they think every single politician does this and it’s the same regardless, or just want to spite specific people they know who are on the left side of things

    Guys. Don’t be mad at Trump. He’s just doing all he knows. Which is being a shit smear. Be angry at John Roberts for making him immune and be angry at all the white people who couldn’t handle a black president and needed to exert their racism.

        Yes and that will only grow with time, which means sooner is better. And it still pales in comparison to the amount of manpower we can bring to the table. And we also can use drones, guns, and so on.

        But hey, if you want to find more excuses to sacrifice other people’s lives for nothing other than your modicum of comfort and “safety”. Well that seems to be quite in tune with what oligarchs want.

          You asked why we don’t just “eat the oligarchs”. It is because people are still afraid to die. Afraid to leave behind everything they know to try and build a better future they will not see. This is the answer to your question. And it’s infinitly easier to talk about all the things you would do from behind a screen. Why don’t you start a group? I’ll join you, we can meet on Tuesdays.

              It’s ok, the internet is a pretty testy place these days. That’s awesome tho, the most I’ve done is leave my garage unlocked and let my neighbor know they can hide if needed.

              Even tho things are bad, I think we still have a while to go before enough people reach a tipping point unfortunately.

                It makes me sad and angry because I know the sooner we stop it, the less damage that is done, the less loss of life, the better our conditions can improve. I just see the U.S. in an abusive relationship, and the only ways out I know of such a relationship is either run or deal with the problem directly, sometimes both.

                And having a place for a person/people to hide is still the right thing to do and is commendable. Every act of resistance matters, no matter how small one might judge it.

                Anyway, good luck out there.

    I never really understood why insider trading is considered such a serious offense, especially when compared to everything else that happens in the American stock market.

    At its core, the stock market already feels like a massive game dominated by extremely wealthy people. Some accounts probably have trillions in buying power. We allow advanced trading algorithms, automated stop-loss systems, high-frequency trading, and all kinds of software advantages. On top of that, literally anyone can jump into the market now, which floods it with emotional and inexperienced traders. That volatility itself creates opportunities for people with more capital and better tools.

    So I do not know. Compared to the broader structure of the market and the level of manipulation and imbalance that already exists, insider trading feels like one of the least offensive things happening.

      We can agree that everything you mentioned is bad. But why can’t all of it be regulated all at once together?

      I think we already know the answer to it and it’s summed up in one word - corruption. With nuance it would be along the lines of perversion of a system meant to be fair - but those with power and wealth are absolutely playing dirty.

      I don’t know either. But in this case, the combination of insider trading and the power to create the circumstances that enable your gains in the firstplace is absolutely nefarious.
      Especially since it’s combined with a complete disregard for any collateral damage.

        Totally agree. The stock market is a massive web of nepotism and institutional favoritism benefiting a very specific class of people.

        It is overwhelmingly weighted toward those who already possess wealth, access, and insider connections. The fact that it exists in its current form says a great deal about our society and its priorities.

        Thousands of years from now, if humanity ever resolves scarcity and reaches a more rational economic system, historians will likely look back at this era with disbelief wondering how civilizations tolerated such a fundamentally unequal structure for so long, and how we managed to emerge from what may eventually be viewed as an economic dark age.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, the most corrupt piece of shit on planet Earth; Donald John Trump… the whiniest most arrogant dumb fuck, worst president in the history of the US. This pedophile rapist piece of shit has made more money while in office than any other president. Jimmy Carter chose to put his peanut farm in a blind trust before taking office as not to create any conflict of interest; guess what Donald John Trump did when Carter died and we had all the flags at half staff? He, whined that they should be put back up full staff because it happened to be on his inauguration day, what a whiney little bitch boy, huh?

    When this piece of absolute waste of atoms kicks the bucket, we can only hope it’ll be 30 days of pure celebration, and then completely forget he existed. Not a celebration of life, but a celebration of death. Not half staff for this child rapist. Take down all the crap he put up, all his images, all his name he plastered all over everything as its considered graffiti as far as I’m concerned. Let us rejoice the day this cocksucking grifter piece of shit finally croaks, it will be absolute glory! Come on cholesterol, what the fuck is taking so long?

      I’ve entertained the idea of getting a huge flag just so I can LEAVE THAT MOTHERFUCKER UP.

      The thing is that trying to keep it from getting all nasty and tattered would take up a lot of time. Also, there is the chance that some dumbass Repedopublican might get violent toward my family.

      I’m in complete agreement with your sentiments, but I think we’re going to be looking at far more than 30 days to recover from the damage he’s caused. I’m thinking more like 30 years, if we’re lucky.

          If they do that, MAGA will be back in power in four years. MAGA must be decisively crushed, and purged from our government and society as the legitimate National Security Threat they are. We wouldn’t allow ISIS or Al Qaeda to take over our country, and I don’t see how MAGA is any different.
