This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.
Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, his financial disclosure report says.

LaRosa: When AOC came into office, she learned the hard way how Congress is about numbers, it’s about math, and Nancy Pelosi had to say, “Little girl, you don’t have the numbers; we do.” You will see them on MSNBC and MeidasTouch, and that’s about it because they won’t be doing legislating.
