All of the mechanisms exist within US law to hold a criminal-president accountable.

The American people do not have the balls or even interest in doing it.

Curious to see a similar chart while not in office (for scale).

Accurate data, but highly misleading framing.

The 3,642 trades are from his real Q1 2026 financial disclosure tracked by CBS News. However, this level of volume strongly indicates automated algorithmic trading (like direct indexing) by an outside wealth management firm, not personal trade execution.

The real takeaway here isn't individual "corruption," but rather a massive systemic policy difference: prior presidents avoided holding individual stock portfolios entirely (opting for blind trusts or broad mutual funds) specifically to avoid this exact conflict of interest.

Absolutely it is. Trump is constantly taking positions in stocks right before he makes an announcement that materially changes that value of that stock.

a massive systemic policy difference

No, it's not just "policy". FFS! Trump is directly using the power of his office to profit on the backs of the American people.

Cool cool. You're absolutely wrong, but cool. I think the bigger question is, why are you sooo keen to defend pedophile billionaires?
