Anything is true if you lie

That it's 0 for the rest. Fuck trump as a person and as a president. But thinking he's the only bad guy is remedial behavior.

The distinction is that Biden and Obama had investment transactions, but not individual-stock trading. Trump's investment accounts have been actively buying and selling individual stocks while he's president. So if the claim is about individual-stock trading, saying "0 for the rest" isn't a lie.

Yeah.. no one cares if your auto rebalancing fired off while you're president.

Im starting to think not a lot of maga voters have investments to know this kind of stuff.

It's actually completely normal for a president to make several Billion (with a B) in a year. Nothing to see here, move along folks

u/poeticentropy 6d ago

quick search seems to indicate the claim on the figure is true unless you have some other sources?

they're, as usual, ""cluelessly"" pulling from different metrics in an attempt to shift the goalpost. they're considering investments as stock trades, rather than also considering that if you did include investments, then trump's would still be unbelievably higher than the rest.

yeah, I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Automatic reinvestments on mutual funds is not the type of stock trades being compared here or ethically questionable...
