Trump's accounts made 327 stock purchases worth up to $12.8M on April 8, 2025.
The next day he announced a tariff pause & markets jumped nearly 10%.
He didn't disclose the trades for months and the penalty for late disclosure: $200...so the money stuck in his sofa

Trump once called USMCA "the best and most important trade deal ever made."
Today his own USTR declined to renew it. $1.5tn in annual trade with two of the top 3 US trading partners now heads into a decade of annual uncertainty. His words. His signature. Our future.

USAF Maj. Jason Watson arrested at the Capitol today, standing on the steps holding an "Impeach/Convict/Remove" sign.
